My Turtle is bitting the dock... and i think eating it.. I acctually see a piece of metal now from inside the dock, just a small circle. Iv seen this in a post somewhere but i couldnt find it, so what does this mean she needs cuttle bone?

You should probably always offer cuttle bone but if this continues you should find a different dock to use. Keep in mind that the hard backing should be removed.

I can't remember the brand of dock that I use, but it is the acrylic (clear plastic) one with green rubber stripes on it that sticks on the side of the tank with many suction cups. I ordered it off the Dr. Foster's website. Your turtle won't be able to eat that. :D
