This ought to crack you up; went out to herd my 2 runners into their shed at dark thirty last night, they hop out of the pool and head for the shed, but something in the pool keeps splashing around! Had to come inside for the flashlight and got a pieplate too just in case. Poor little toads was just about to give up the ghost and was floating around spread eagle when I bailed him out. He's awful lucky those juvie ducks didn't see or know what to do with him!
I just hate snakes! And when i saw that thing curled around my duck's neck - It could have been a 15' long Anaconda and i would tried to save the duck!
Do ducks eat turtles? - I thought it is vice versa, that's why i keep my ducks away from one of my ponds, where i suspect a snapper lives in.
I hope not! We all would miss our super-duck!
Ducks lose alot of toes and even feet to snapping turtles. They will even damage livestock that are drinking from the pond.
I tried to evict it last year without success, was too afraid to loose fingers. I'm not sure if it is back this year as that pond has dried out two times, but i don't want to risk a duck foot.
I wish we had something like that. So far this is what we were able to come up with.
He was on his way to your rescue, but then realized the skinks needed rescuing from you, huh? That sounds like a typical reaction you could catch happening from me.
