YOU'RE GONNA LUV THIS ONE!!!!!!!

I was inspired by Anthony's post of Gerards video of Hungry Hungry Turtles

So here we go -

Earlier this year I had a brainstorm to combine 2 tubs to make a brackish/basking habitat in one and fresh/feeder in the other - that way I wouldn't have to handle them to put them into to a separate tub to eat and drink from.. and they could choose at will! That was the theory anyway................

Now how am I going to train them how to use the "bridge" from one to the other.. I asked myself???

This is how a few of the yearlings look in the fresh water tub eating their pellets for breakfast -



And this is how they got there.. [ you probly wanna go Full Screen ] -

What can I say?

Great video! They had no problem with the bridge I love watching them eat I like at the end how one was cheating by holding onto the step

OMG! They are beautiful and too funny. I love how they grabbed a pellet and then just threw their legs out to sink, I kept hearing "wheeeee!" In my head each time they did it.
