Message: [QUOTE="CountryEscape, post: 174662, member: 3087"] Haha, yeah, painted turtles are swimmers. As long as I don't get any snappers in the ponds, I'm thrilled to have the painted babies. I'm sure they will feast on tadpoles and fish babies, but that's ok. Survival of the fittest. Saw the turtles yesterday and he is about 4" long/round. Cute little bugger. I was standing feeding goldfish, all of a sudden he came swimming out to the open! He didn't see me at first, came up, looked right at me, I was a statue, he moved to find food I was tossing for them - bread pieces. Then I made the mistake of moving when he was ready to pop his head above the water again, and he spotted the movement and back under he went. I did get him to realize I had fish food, too, and tossed some his way, in between the lily pads, and he happily munched on that and some bread he found. So, if he stays, he will soon figure out when the food is arriving. :blueflower: :claphands: [/QUOTE]
