Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

I just a brand new dock, the same Zoomed one unfortunately I can't find another and I'm not creative enough to build one.

Anyways, she attacked it the first day and now I have half a dock after spending 20€ Euros on it :((

Im scared she'll swallow the chunks and I think I saw some pieces in her poo. As a result I have removed it but now she has no basking area....I'm so upset by all this, why can't she behave!

Have you tried the cuttlebone I mentioned before? Either way, I'd still look for a different band of dock.

Yes, try getting some corkbark, it's harder to bite:P. Like Steve said, try cuttlebone, it'll give them something to munch on.

Thanks guys, ill buy the calcium and in the meantime I'm thinking of wrapping the dock in cloth so she won't bite it until I find a new dock solution.
