Yes, they do build lodges from cattails in 2 - 3 feet of water in sloughs but they won’t sink. Since they eat the roots of the cattails they don’t need a feed bed like beavers do. Maybe what disappeared were push ups. They’re just a bunch of mud and weeds on the top of the ice covering a hole in the ice so it doesn’t freeze over. They use them for breathing and feeding. That’s the only thing that makes sense to me.
