Filterless Turtle Pond?
Hi Sue,
I've had turtles in my 3,000 pond with 150 gallon stock tank filter. (Have one
at the moment.)
I also have an 800 gallon fishless bog next to it.
(not connected).
Every once in a while one of the turtles would go explore the bog.
Once I came across one of his leavings (turtle poo).
oh-my-gawd!
The stuff, hmmmm, it is beyond nasty.
And they seem to produce a lot of it... as older turtles tend to eat more
plants (think cow plop)
Now if you dug a BIG pond for them, how much yard do you say you have left?
My turtles would also explore the yard but we have a fence set in concrete and
kept them from going on walk-abouts.
