Hey all i post every so often here and always get a freindly response.. but i have a questioon thats probably been answered a few times for other peoples questions... my RES are fed regularly and have plant accessable at all times to snack on but nowadays their favorite thing to do is munch on the turtle dock and im a little worried that it could be harmful... if anyone can shoot me some advice i would appreciate it..
thanks Bill

Well I first must ask.....
Is he actually biting pieces off of it? If he is just biting on it, but nothing is coming off, then dont sweat it. However, if when he's chewing on it, pieces are coming off for him to swallow, yes I would be alarmed.

Hope this helps!

Would you eat it? No? Then its prolly bad for ur turtle to eat it. You may need to find another way to have ur turtle bask. EAting the turtle dock can be very hazardous to the turtle.
