These Sonora Mud Turtles (we think that is the species) like to come around when we feed the ducks and coots in the lake out back. The problem is the ducks and about every other animal is faster than the turtles when it comes to snapping up food. The answer turned out to be chopsticks. Yes, basic wooden chopsticks with some cat food. So next time you think you have a hard time eating with chopsticks, think of these turtles.
For the herpetologists out there, if you can give us a better ID for the turtles, please send them our way.
