Habitat - Indoor :: ZooMed Floating Docks not working for my little ones

[chinkieboy]

I got the medium size one. but for some reason, the surface of the dock is slipppery. my little babe silder(about 1.5 inches) can't climb up on it...

any other ramp or docks works good for them??

I have the Zoo Med dock and mine have no trouble, i've had them since they were babies. Did you do a thorough washing of it after you bought it?
try washing it (I just use water with a large scrub brush) and set it to try.

Mine do great with the turtle pier.

i did wash it, but the surface is still slippery.

Try scrubbing it. Is there algae?

Or it may be too big for your turtle. I have a large dock right now for a hatchling and he has a lot of trouble getting up onto it and never goes beyond the ramp.

zoo med docks seem to do that alot u have to wash it really good and hard

got to wash it alot. I could tell everytime i cleaned the tank it was really slick.

When I got mine it felt like it was covered in grease. It was really hard to clean off. I used a cloth and hot water and scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed....and eventually it came off. It might be a protective coat that the manufacturers put on...I'm not sure.
