Turtle pond

[Stanzzzz7]

Here are a few pics from my pond.
All these turtles are rescues and I have 11in total.
Some arrived with a few health issues but are all doing well.





This little guy is extremely friendly.
Every morning at around 6.00am he makes the long crawl to my back door.









I always give him a snack and off he goes with it back to the pond.

Captive turtles get a bad deal and are often disgarded or kept in the wrong conditions. This is a real shame as they are intelligent creatures with great character.

Thanks.
He's not fussy and will eat anything. It's usually a prawn, a strawberry a mussel or a grape. I try to rotate and feed something meaty one day and some fruit or veg the next.
