Me and my turtles

It seems that my life is companied with turtles.

My first turtle came to me when I was in elementary school. One day after my dad was off the work, he secretly took a gift from his bag.

It is a little and cute turtle! It was not some rare specie. So my first turtle is very cheap. However, it gave me tremendous joy during my whole childhood.

When my first turtle died of illness, I realized the pain of leaving at the first time.

A few years ago, I bought several India turtles. The tattoo of them is very beautiful . it looks like stars. They are the turtles I mention before in my early post.

 

These turtles are not easy to keep. They have a lot of requirements to the food, temperature and sunlight.

The Turtles in My House

There are several cute turtles in my house. They have grown up as middle size one. I still remember what they looked when I first saw them. At that time, these turtles were just little eggs.

Everyday, I kindly treat them and take care of them. If you want to keep a turtle as your pet, I can share some experiences with you.

I keep the temperature of turtle box being stable at 30℃ all the year. I feed them with turtle food and vegetables. 

What’s more, the food for turtles should also require calcium powder. Turtles also need sun bath. Therefore, I bought a sun lamp. 

Every night after I give each turtle a shower, I turn the sun lamp on to let them have a sun bath.
