Zoo Med TD-30 Turtle Dock, Small

It came without the suction cones!!!!Such a cheap move Zoo Med!It is basically a fraud!Luckily I had some spare ones but THIS SHOULD BE WARNING to other customers.I would return it immediately if it wasn't a good piece of a basking platform that my turtle seems to really like.

I will try to keep this short as ended up having to order two of these as first one arrived minus suction cups. I contacted Amazon who were great but when I asked if the company could just send the suction cups as had to wait a week for the first one to arrive said that was not possible so sent out another one ,I was told to use the first one until the replacement arrived .I waited yet another week and a new one arrived and yet again missing suction cups ( I did try to buy some myself but could not get ones that fitted ) I was incredibly annoyed sent an email to the company heard nothing back and had to send back the last one ! Amazon let me keep the first one as it was now covered in turtle water ,I managed to fix it into tank using big stones which was a bad idea as have now caused the brand new tank I bought to crack today under weight of stones so that is now another 100 pounds I will need to spend ! Do not buy this dock it is utter rubbish and the company do not give a dam regarding customer care or rights as long as they have your money .

When it works, this really does just that. The first one was delivered without suction pads. No can do. The ramp/ basking block cannot function without them. Just saying because if you're in an absolutre rush to get hold of one of these or, if like me, you prepare the tank beforehand, with two sliders anxiously waiting to get out from my bath and back to their tank, then this obviously holds up the process.The replacement arrived complete. The suction pads weren't as difficult to pop into bask to tank connecting pole - I had read beforehand that some buyers had found it impossible. Not me. I completed the task of hose connected tank filling with water and away to go. In no time at all my turtles were using the area to maximum allowance. In fact they rarely leave the thing.it is a sturdy, self maintained, non sinking, tight to the end suction pads, God send invention. That's why it works I've tried other means in my tank in the past. Some have so many suction points attaching to three sides of the tank as well as the floor,housing huge Manhattan like structures which, no matter what, falls to pieces in the water. This doesn't. The only downside to buying this is that, if anything, the structure of the item remains not quite large enough, even though I purchased the largest size within the range. I have two yellow belly sliders living in a six foot tank. The female at full stretch is fast becoming around a foot long. The male, somewhat shorter (around eight inches.) He tends to bask completely on top of her, at least until she hurls him off into the water.Finally, the only space this invades is surface space. Everything underneath the basking rock is simply water. The turtles have reinvented this area as a place where they now both sleep. This vacant of rocks, as previously in the tank, means that I no longer have to heave lumping great rocks from the water to scrub and clean.Overall then I'm pleased. The turtles are pleased, and while writing this review, have just decided to buy another one the same.

It looks a bit like a cheap toy in person. It's a brown plastic with green patches painted on that clearly aim to make it look more natural but just look cheap. I used to have a large rock that looked amazing and worked so great, that my baby turtle used to climb up on but removed it since he's getting a bigger and probably would appreciate more room to work around in.The suction cups were a proper mission to put on. Took me about 15 minutes of pure frustration and pushing as hard as I could and constantly afraid the plastic was going to snap. I had to use scissors in the end to trip the plastic to better fit into the suction cups but they don't even stay on the glass of my aquarium!! My small 5 month old reeves turtle has removed a couple of the suction cups in the day I've had it.I've been warned these are amazing products but the zoomed is the best one out of the list of other mediocre turtle docks but I will probably upgrade to a much better tank and make another natural looking mountain of rocks for him instead when I win the lottery.

Purchased to replace previously purchased one four years ago. These are superb for terrapins and gives them plenty of room to bask without building large underwater mounds. It should be noted my previous one did gradually rot a little, leading to the mounting holes breaking and the platform becoming free floating, however that it the mature of anything in water and it lasted a long time for the price.

My Turtles couldn’t be any happier with this item. They are always on this basking. They have got a lot bigger within the last year since buying a bigger tank, and eventually the magnetic dock I used to have for them wasn’t strong enough to hold the both so the magnets kept dropping down the side of the tank. Looked at this and thought I’d give it a try. Not disappointed at all. Great product at a great price.
