Using a Crawfish Trap to Stock My New Ponds!

In this video, I set out a crawfish trap at a local pond to catch crawfish for my new ponds. I waited an hour and ended up with 15 crawfish in the trap. Thanks for watching!

I can only imagine some of the adventures his mother endured throughout his childhood/teen years! Shad in the freezer, crawfish in the tea pitchers, gar in the kiddie pools.....🤣

Have you released your super lucky bluegill go in your ponds yet? The one that has survived so long?

[@hurricanesteve65]

My wife, mother of three boys, loved that stuff !

[@areed2000]

Another great addition to the ecosystem. These ponds are going to luxury living for the turtles!

[@LunarLux0]

How exciting to be so close to finishing up this project. I’m sure the creatures will love the new ponds

[@tidalwaveknight1897]

It rained rather hard here in Oklahoma the other day. A crawfish was washed up into my apartment complex and I noticed him while walking the dog. I looked at him and expressed my pity for his situation, moved on. I was staring at my now empty aquariums and said screw it, the crawfish was screwed without intelligent intervention so I felt it wouldn't be greedy to make him a pet. He's been with me for 4 days and the little guy is hilarious. He enjoys his coconut hovel and you can watch him doing escape drills, usually from his perching rock. Watching him eat his drinking pellets is really fun as well. All in all, Odie is making for a unique pet and I'm really happy to have him.

I still think some more vegetation is needed for hiding spots for the smaller animals like some aquatic grasses and cat tails around the back side, that’s just my thoughts 💭 I love all your content and everything your doing with the turtles 🐢 fish 🐠 🐟 🎣 and crawfish 🦞! Stay safe and always be awesome 😎

You should add some bullfrogs! I know you added tadpoles already so you don’t have to.

[@Shnarfbird]

There were some tadpoles a while ago, it seems they came here on their own.

[@benjaminares9812]

Bullfrogs eat litteraly anything that they can find. It would probably destroy the ecosystem of the ponds.

[@dgonthehill]

pond looks good, pretty soon turtles. happy foryou. fun to watch crawfish.

[@MorbidMonstera]

I think you should add more local vegetation from the ponds and puddles that you get the minnows and stuff from. That'll give em more of the beneficial bacteria and other micro organisms they need. Plus, the turtles and crawfish would probably love more roots and plants to gnaw on.

[@jasonesler2716]

Get like 10 buckets of plants from local areas. Even if the plants you’ve added are fast growing plants, you’ll need a lot to start off such a huge pond.
