Our Turtles are alive again

Our turtles are alive again.

Well although they hibernate during winter they are never really “asleep” but they don’t eat, they don’t move much and it’s very easy to do maintenance once the water only needs to be changed every 4 or 6 weeks. We save on water and food.

Now, that the rain is gone, the sun is out there and the temperatures have raised, our turtles are on the move again. When they hear our voices they start moving around waiting for some food. They are back to life. Now the water change will be done every 2 weeks or even on a weekly basis.

Usually when we clean the aquarium we put the turtles on the backyard so that they spend some time outside the water and walk on hard floor.

Although my kids would like to have another type of pet in the house, like a dog for instance, working full time and being away from home all day leaving a pet at home does not attract me. I must confess turtles are ugly, but it is very easy to take care of them and by the way they don’t bark, they don’t leave hair all over the place, they don’t pee on the carpet so we are fine having turtles only.

    I had turtles as a kid too…Frank and Vern. I used to let them out of the tank to run around my room and they always ended up under the dresser. They were great!

    They seem like a perfect pet for someone who doesn’t really want a pet :) . I don’t know if I agree with ugly, i had a turtle on our garden once and i found it very interesting, even nice. But of course, nothing beats good old kittens…
