With winter and the colder weather just around the corner it's important to make sure your pond and its inhabitants make it through safely. We've got everything you need to help make that happen.
In cold snaps it's important to keep an area of your pond free from icing over. This allows for the essential exchange of harmful pond gasses and oxygen at the pond surface. Our Pond Heaters will keep an area ice free, keeping your fish happy and healthy!
At this time of year it's also important to adopt the proper autumn/winter feeding regime. See our Winter Food section below to find out why.
Finally you might want to think about protecting your pond with a Cover Net. Cover nets ensure your pond is protected from falling leaves and debris in the cold and windy weather, as well as offering protection from predators and pests - while still allowing plenty of vital sunlight to your pond and plants.
Make sure you get equipped for the winter early and you can be sure you won't get caught out when those cold snaps hit!
In the colder weather your fish will be far less active. Their metabolism slows, which makes the high levels of protein in their usual food more difficult to digest. So it's important to feed your fish correctly at this time of year. At Bradshaws we have a range of wheatgerm food to keep your fish healthy through these colder months.
