The girls are thriving on the pond, have eaten an entire patch of algae on the side, and could care less about their wonderful new house lol. We were able to get them in the first night, but since then…they have refused. I go out every morning to make sure they are all safe which is about all I can do. I give them their feeder in the morning (which they do come up to me then and start eating) and I bring it back to the house at sunset.
