She sits in her pond for hours, then she climbs out, eats some food, digs in and goes to sleep for the night. About 7:00am when her lights come on she starts the process all over again.

She sat in it for maybe 5 seconds if I put her in it, she took a drink and that was it. The pond I have now is a rubbermaid tote that I put a bunch of stones in to make different water levels. Ever since I put the pond in she has increased her activity level. She used to stay hidden all the time in the substrate, now she is out everyday.

Dont know why they hate the dish so much, but I have bought numerous zoo-med products over the years for my aquatic turtles, and have found most of them arent really that good. I feed my boxie natural foods, and my RES and painted turtles get tetra turtle sticks. All of my lights and heat bulbs are fluker farms and all my filters and heaters are whisper brand. About the only thing I buy anymore that zoo-med makes is my boxies bedding, and I could make that from potting soil for a lot cheaper. What I am trying to say is just because its a name brand product like zoo-med it isint always a good product.
