I am in Sealy, Texas and live on a small farm with the same coyote problem. We built a floating duck house with a raised deck and small ramp that will tilt in the water under more than four pounds. The ducks can make it with a little flip of the wing. However, the turtles had their go around...
I have hours of video of the turtles pulling themselves up the ramp, turning around, get on the edge of the ramp, lifting their feet up and sliding into the water only to turn around and do it again.
Hi! I found your old post when I went to find a floating duck house.
I was just wondering if you ever cut another door in yours so they wouldn't feel trapped.
Another thing I want to try on mine is a little ramp that is chained to the deck and the other end just hangs in the water for easy...
