shock and warning

[touie]

I went to check on my turtles outside in the pond yesterday and I found map turtle Splosh floating upside down tangled in blanket weed!

I tried to reach him but he was too deep! Though thankfully he couldn't have been there long because as soon as i PULLED THE WEED OUT he swam off!

So I've since been trying to get as much of the nasty stuff out as possible! I had a feeling that something like this could happen but my parents kept saying that they were fine and liked to make nests with it!

Do you not have a uv steriliser on your pond mate this will sort the weed out i get very little and what i do get the fish eat.
P.s turtles are not likely to make nests :D
All you can do other than sterlisers or chemicals is to just keep pulling it out :wink:

I'll just have to keep pulling it out as they're in my parents pond. My garden's full with rabbit enclosures :lol:
