Customer Reviews: my turtle loves it!!!   February 25, 2008  1 out of 1 found this review helpful I resisted these things for years because I prefered to build natural platforms out of rocks, but that gets tricky if you want to raise the water level above 6 inches. What I love about this dock is that it gives my turt a nice big surface to climb on and bask, but he still has all that swimming room underneath. I just hope that he won't start chomping away at it, as some turtles have done. The suction cups work great and really hold the dock firmly in place. Great price too! I resisted buying it when the retail shops all had it for $20, but at under $10 it was worth a gamble. Don't waste your money on this item   February 20, 2008  1 out of 1 found this review helpful I have had two sliders since they were babies and I was only able to use the zoo med turtle dock for about 2-3 months due to several issues. At first the dock was okay... it wasn't totally aesthetically pleasing but it did the trick. My turtles would use it often to bask without any problems. After about the first month or so the suction cups were not sticking very well to the point where they no longer stick to the bottom portion which is submersed in the water. As the turtles got bigger they would get stuck behind the bottom plastic bar, and would really have to struggle to free themselves...they never drown but this crossed my mind as a possible hazard. The dock also started to grow algae and when I tried to clean and scrub it off the paint scrubbed off with it. These are just minor problems considering once my turtles grew to be 3 inches in length they began to actually bite the dock to the point where they were able to get actual huge chunks out of it and consume it. I looked this up online and it is a very common problem with foam docks. It is very unhealthy for them to consume foam or plastic. Overall it is a cheap dock and you get what you pay for. I recommend spending the extra money upfront to get something nicer and safer(and not made of foam). they love it but to much   December 22, 2006  1 out of 1 found this review helpful I have 2 turtles and had this dock in their tank for about 3 months. they were always on it stacked on each other basking. However one started to eat pieces of it so since then I have had to remove it. I have heard other stories of peoples turtles snacking on the dock Fits perfect, however my turtles don't use it!   December 21, 2004  3 out of 5 found this review helpful I bought this dock mainly because it fits perfect over my filter, so would be more free space for my turtles to swim. I was also thinking that my two 2" turtles would climb on and use it. I was wrong. I have this dock for over 4 days and if I saw them twice on it was too much. I thought that they couldn't reach, so I tried to attract them up there with food; well, they climbed very fast, they ate and they were gone from the dock. They probably think the dock is not "secure" enough, maybe it moves when they try to climb on it. I am not sure yet. They prefer to climb over a little ornament and hang themselves on it than stay in a "flat appropriate turtle dock". They used to be on the top of the former dock all the time, so it is not that they prefer the little ornament more than the new dock. The dock itself looks fine. It attaches pretty well to the glass, floats with the water level and has a submerging ramp. I will wait a couple more days and see if they get used to the dock, maybe it is a matter of time. I hope.
