Secure any live aquarium plants for a turtle?
I have a Boxie and wanted to add a live aquarium plant for its environment. It's in a 4 feet x 2 feet, "table" and has different "areas". I would put a couple of live plants in the area of "plant", but I had read that I could eat / nibble on them, so I wondered if I would be safe and if so the plants would be good for her. She is very active and visits to all areas of your table. He thought he might enjoy something alive. Anyway thank you very much for your time. Crossing fingers that I will be able to do this. Thanks again! PS-It is housed in an aquarium, which is in a big box / table that is about 10-12 mm deep. She has a "pond" area which is really a flat plate that loves the room in. I wanted to add some live plants to surrounding their plastic raft.
His "desk" sounds incredible! I'm sure she loves the intricate set. And yes, box turtles (and most of the turtles in general) are notorious for gnawing on plants that seem interesting and tasty.
