Hello Everyone,
what kind of toys do you guys have in your tank. I was thinking about putting some sort of a ball in mind, she has rocks to push and so forth, but apart from that, what do you all have?

I love Marimo balls. They are plants you can buy that stay loose in the tank. They also help with the nitrates???/nitrites - I get them confused ;)

Mine have done well in the tank and I find them in all sorts of places after being pushed around.

I would avoid glass decorations like marbles and those little glass stones because they can get chipped and the glass pieces can easily be eaten and cause a lot of internal damage.
Some people have had luck with toys like ping pong balls but I find my turtles aren't big on "toys," so they just have a few river rocks each. They enjoy digging around them.

if you put a pingpong ball in do you put a hole in it to make it sink?
