Malaya stealing pickerel rush out of the baby pond, lol

I put this in one corner of the Redfoot pen, it is a large size cement tub with patio blocks piled in the middle. So far it is working great.

Very cool!! I have been thinking about doing something like that myself! Just to help me out; how often do you change the water?

Very nice and I love the Redfoot trying to eat what is in there.

Thanks everyone!

I don't really change the water - it gets fresh added every day, and once a week I put the hose in and let it run over for a good long while. There are holes drilled along the sides to keep the rain and sprinkler from over-filling it.
