General Care Discussion :: ZooMed Floating dock vs Cuttlebone

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2009 6:27 pm   ZooMed Floating dock vs Cuttlebone

Okay so I got a ZooMed floating dock for my one year old RES whom I have had since she was a hatchling, but since she was a baby she continues to bite her way through the dock destroying it , so I buy other things and use rocks as an basking area and she refuses to use it...so I have to result back to buying ZooMed which she will bask on but destroy it eventually....I bought her a cuttlebone and she ignores it.


Is there anything I can do to make her want the cuttlebone??? I just cant keep dropping thirty bucks because she gets bored. Any suggestions or recomendations would be most appreciated

Get a dock that's a hard plastic so it can't be destroyed. I have a basking platform I got on ebay for $20 and it works great.
