Hi, looking for advice on caring for my turtles in a greenhouse pond over the winter in South Wales, UK.
Firstly, how warm do I need to keep the water, do I need to heat it at all - they live in the wild in canals bit am guessing they just hibernate in the silt at the bottom. My pond I'd about 3ft deep.
Secondly, do I need to heat the air in the greenhouse & if so to what temperature & is it okay to use an oil heater?
Any advice appreciated as they've been kept indoors in a tank for past 4 years so I want to make sure I get it right.
Many thanks.
