Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2018 2:28 pm Basking dock stable/unstable
I have always used a stabilized floating dock for my slider, but I have noticed many pet stores and owners do not stabilize their floating basking areas. I am scared to death that she won't be able to climb on her new dock that is not designed to be stabilized. She is probably 7 inches in shell length and 4 wide (guessing). Her new floating dock is 12 by 24 inches. Am I wasting my time to stabilize the dock or should I take the advice to "wait it out"? I have had other owners suggest that when she is ready she will find a way! We are waiting for it to be delivered and for now we have a large zoo med floating dock that she has outgrown.
