Recently two have "committed" suicide in a small pond that I use for growing duckweed for the lager pond. Short of putting up a fence, which would spoil the look of the patio, any ideas for stopping a repeat performance. The pond is only about 3 feet long by 2 feet wide, triangular and shallow at one end, maybe two inches. you could use some netting or have some means for them escape once they fall in. I don't know if hodgepigs can swim but they may have drowned once they had exhausted themselves trying to get out. They can swim, yes. All they need is a piece of wood to climb up, though it had better not be too steep, as it gets slippery. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
