Fish and turtles need the same care during
the winter. They need a hole open in the ice so gasses can dissipate from mulm that gathers in the pond. Garden ponds are just too overstocked compared to Mother Nature so we compensate by keeping a hole open in the ice. Turtles hibernate under the ice in the winter, they can 'breathe' oxygen thru a gland at the base of their tail. They are temperature driven, so when it gets cold they sloooooow down. kathy :-)www.blogfromthebog.com this week ~ the damselfly Pond 101 page for new pond keepers ~ http://hometown.aol.com/ka30p/myhomepage/garden.html
