Nuf said? No? OK, turtles eat everything in the pond. They start with your most expensive plants, like tropical water lilies and eat their way through every last plant. And they do it fast.
You can have turtles in a pond if you have nothing else in the pond. You have to feed the turtles and make a little island and/or ramp so they can get in and out. Turtles do not live underwater.
In the winter, they burrow in the leaf mold and under the rocks and stay there undisturbed until spring when they wake up with a voracious appetite for more water lilies.
Turtle on a turtle? Yup, it is.
