So your kids have been nagging you for a new pet? I know how you feel, my kids were doing the same to me. They wanted a pet and they wouldn’t leave me alone until I gave in and finally got them one. The problem was that I wanted one that was easy to care for and I thought it would also teach them responsibility.
You see, pet turtle care can be easy if you know what you’re doing. I found this out the hard way. Our first pet turtle did not do well and is no longer with us. It was a sad moment for my children and for me too. So I thought I’d better know what I was doing this time. She didn’t want to deal with the tragedy of losing another little pet turtle and having to explain what happened to the kids again.
This time I made sure I had the knowledge I needed for the turtles to thrive in their new environment. These little ones need things like adequate food, heat, and light. If you don’t do this correctly you will run into the problems I had at the beginning, and we don’t want the same thing to happen to you.
Let me ask you this. Do you want to look your child in the eye and have to explain what happened to your new pet if he dies? I’m sure I don’t want to do that another time. Caring for pet turtles can be a fun new hobby for the whole family to enjoy. We really love watching our turtles swim and sunbathe in their aquarium, it’s kind of relaxing after a long day at work.
I’m very glad I bought them for the kids, they make good pets and are easy to care for as long as you set things up right from the start.
