Thanks all.
Nope we didn't stack them...they are self-stacking turtles. LOL And the hot glue does not hold, so epoxy may be the next step. *g*
We built them their own pond and 'completed' it last summer. But don't we all know that a pond is never 'done'. Last summer they had minnows to snack and watch. This summer they have 3 really big comets. We call them Turtle TV
We had Myrtle (top) for several years as an adopted turtle that a friend's child outgrew (when she went to college!). Then as we worked on completing the Turtle Villa, thought that a companion would be a good idea. We got Meg from a lady in Helena that rescued her from a busy street in the July heat. RES are not native here. At first she was shy, then one day as we were finishing the Villa I was hand feeding them some worms we had found. Once Meg figured out we had the food, she became a total ham--
instantly. Now she follows anyone all around the pond edge begging shamelessly.
Last fall I was
totally traumatized. All these years we were sure Myrtle was a she...NOPE.
I caught them in the act and may never be the same again.
I have no place in the villa for Meg to lay eggs as the pond is designed to be escape proof. She is such a ham, and I would hate to lose her if she gets eggbound. But I have no idea what to do. And don't you dare say, "Gee, Jen...dig another pond."
