The turtle is a slow creature that evokes a sense of tranquility and serenity. They have a unique way of survival and have become humans' pets. Although turtles are slow-moving, they have keen awareness and unique preferences for their surroundings. Today, let’s talk about three aspects that turtles like: play, food and environment.

Games that turtles like!

Although turtles are not as lively as dogs, they also like to play. They are particularly fond of items such as glass balls, rain stones and pebbles. These objects are smooth and round, allowing the turtle to gently grab them with its claws and mouth and push them around. The turtles can use their claws to move the balls or push them away, which brings them joy. Additionally, these slippery items help your turtle sharpen its claws and keep them sharp.

Turtle dietary preferences vary by species. Aquatic turtles like meat, such as small fish, shrimp and snails; terrestrial turtles like vegetarian foods, such as vegetables, fruits and grass. The owner needs to choose the right food according to the type of turtle. For example, aquatic turtles can be fed fish, shrimp and offal; terrestrial turtles can be fed lettuce, cucumbers and apples. Additionally, turtles need the right amount of calcium to keep their shells healthy. The owner can regularly feed the turtle calcium powder or calcium-rich shrimp skin.

The environment that turtles like the most!

Turtles like a cool and moist environment. In their natural habitat, turtles often live in lakes, rivers, swamps or forests. As pet tortoise owners, we need to provide them with a suitable living environment. Generally speaking, pet turtles need to have land and water in their living space. Sand can be spread on the land for the turtle to dig and crawl; at the same time, a water basin can be provided for the turtle to swim and drink. Also, provide a shady hiding place where the turtle can hide and rest when needed.

Although turtles prefer the dark, they also need regular exposure to sunlight. In addition, many turtles have the habit of hibernating during the winter, so they need to pay attention to their reduced food intake and the drop in temperature.

Although turtles are slow-moving, they have their own preferences and needs. As pet owners, we need to understand their preferences and provide them with a suitable living environment so that they can live healthy and happy lives under our care.
