Does your little turtle always seem a bit "cold" and always ignores your advances? Don't worry, this may be because you haven't really entered its inner world yet. Although turtles are not as enthusiastic and unrestrained as dogs, they also have their own way of expressing their recognition and dependence on their owners. Today, let’s talk about turtles recognizing their owners and see how your little turtle secretly loves you.

1. Secretly pay attention to your every move

Although turtles move slowly, their eyes are sharp. When you get close to its territory, you will find that it always quietly stares at you with its small eyes, seeming to observe your every move. This is not because it is boring, but because it is silently paying attention to its owner. In this way, the tortoise becomes familiar with the owner's smell, sounds and movements, thereby building trust with the owner.

2. Unique interaction methods

Although turtles are not as lively and active as other pets, they also have their own interaction methods. When you get close to it, it may stick out its head, look at you with those little eyes, or even touch your finger gently with its mouth. This is the tortoise’s way of expressing friendliness and closeness to its owner. Although it may look a little cute, it is their unique expression of love.

3. Get used to your smell

Turtles have a very sensitive sense of smell, and they can identify their owners through smell. Therefore, when you feed it regularly and clean its place, it will gradually get used to your smell and become dependent on you. Sometimes you will find that when you approach its home, it will take the initiative to stick out its head to greet you. This is because it is already familiar with and trusts your scent.

4. Show attachment and reluctance

Although turtles are not as good at expressing emotions as other pets, they will also show attachment and reluctance to their owners. You may find that your turtle seems a little sullen when you're away from home for long periods of time, or even seems extra excited when you get home. This is because they have become accustomed to your company, and your absence will make them feel lonely and uneasy.

5. Guarding Territory and Food

Although turtles have a gentle personality, they also have their own territorial awareness. When they feel safe, they will allow their owners to approach and interact with them. And when they feel threatened, they will show a strong desire to protect and even bite the intruder's fingers with their mouths. This is not because they are attacking you, but because they are protecting their territory and food in their own way.

6. Warm Tips

1. Interact with the tortoise regularly: whether it is feeding, cleaning the house or simply accompanying you, the tortoise can feel your care and love.

2. Be patient and gentle: Although turtles are slow-moving, they can sense your emotions and attitude. Communicating with them using gentle sounds and movements will make them trust and rely on you more.
