Yesterday I bought the turtles a bunch of fish to snack on. Last time I bought them fish, the turtles ate a couple and then very, very slowly worked their way through the rest of them, except for one. This time, I had asked the PetCo guy for six fish, but he gave me around twelve because several were really, really tiny.

The turtles have eaten them all, the only fish surviving is the one that was left from the last bunch.

Little killing machines.

The turtles were starting to eat their little dock (a problem I had read about), so it was time to get a new one. I decided to go with a piece of cork bark which I wired up to the side of the aquarium underneath the lamp (otherwise it floats all around). You can see it on the turtlecam. At first the turtles decided to eat it, too, but I figured that just added some fiber to their diet. Eventually they started climbing up on it and now they seem pretty comfortable with it.

I just felt like sharing.
