Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

Does anyone use Kong toys for their turtles?
I was thinking of dangling one by a string or such in my tank. Should be durable and safe, as a large dog probably has more jaw strength then a moderate sized turtle.

I don't think any one has tried. Would be interesting on how you set it up.

That could be fun, but I would probably only use that when I could supervise my turtle; just this weekend, he tore off (but thankfully didn't swallow) the tip of a rubber spatula at the vet's office. The fish-shaped floating turtle feeder from Zoo Med serves a similar function, since you put treats/pellets inside to get them interested in it.
