Default turtle platform

Anyone know where I can get one of the floating turtle docks? The pet stores where i live doesn't supply them. I live in perak area, or do you have one that you don't want anymore?

Hi Spinxlover,

I know you are far away in Perak....
But I know a pet shop situated in Tesco Cheras which is near my house that sells them.
It has sizes though.
Its coloured and made to look like a floating rock.
Not sure about the price but I can ask for you.
And if you want I can help you to post it.

Just an idea, why don't you DIY one yourself?
Just cut out a square on a styarafoam and put it in your aquarium and taddaaaaa you have a floating platform for your turtle he..he...
Just a suggestion.

Ooooh I like the DIY idea never thought of it, i heard about using corkbark, but that stains the water. And highly appreciate it if you can look up the price:) before i start looking online for the turtle basking dock. Thanks you Felix the Cat

hi sphinxlover,
this might help you http://www.cichlid-forum.com/article...background.php

without any disrespect, from my opinion, i would not use styrofoam products to build any platforms whether its turtle, fish or any water creatures as it may contain nasty chemicals like formaldehyde for instance. its a lil' ingredient people use in medicine to treat sickness, but in a very small amount, too much of formaldehyde will cause health problems. to highlight it, this is something like humans can eat chocolate, but it is life-threatening for cats and dogs. there are a lot of people out there using styrofoams to build background for fish tanks too, but i wouldn't dare to use as it may affect the pH value in the water quality.

i found these infos from the internet, you might wanna check if this may be harmful to your turtle too. my two cents.

no no adrian no disrespect at all, Thank you for telling me i didn't know that. You probably saved the turtles(if i decide to get one soon). Thanks for the site. Turtles are a new pets to me, i had one before but didn't really take good care of them. So this time I want to do it right. Thanks joo!

you're welcome.

anyways, taking care of turtle is very simple if you understand it's habitat and behaviour well. i had quite a few turtles back when i was still a kid-o, but ended up gave it all to my cousins, and now they are living in my cousin's tiny cement pond at the garden, their size now is as big as my tummy!

i used to put little river rocks to let them climb or should i say sun-bath. haha.
