Hello my dear friends!
Turtles are one of the most popular pets. It is believed that they are very unpretentious. In fact, like any living being, they have their own needs. This is especially true for water turtles. It is water turtles that most often join the ranks of refuseniks. People take the tiny creature thinking that it will be a great and unpretentious decoration for their aquarium. Having not understood the issue of keeping waterfowl turtles and having not prepared themselves, they, unexpectedly for themselves, face significant material and organizational problems. Aquaterrarium, equipment, filters, heating, special food...
But that's not the biggest problem yet. Like any other living creature, the turtle grows ... And now it already requires more and more space and a larger aquarium. In the end, everything ends sadly. The turtle is either released into the nearest body of water where, if the climate is too harsh in winter, it simply dies, or it is looking for a new home.
But if you quite consciously take a turtle as a pet, then, in addition to difficulties, you will get a lot of pleasure. Turtles are unexpectedly sociable, recognize their human and are happy to communicate.
