Caring for a pet turtle is quit easy! You need to make sure your turtle has enough room to live in because turtles love to roam around. They also need light because turtles need to keep warm in order to survive like in the wild! So you can purchase a basking lamp at a near by pet store. However too much light isn't good for turtles, so made sure your pet turtle gets enough shade too. You can fill their enclosure with things they like in the wild like rocks and sticks. Other basic things your pet turtle will need is moisture and clean water. You should change the water dish every day to keep your turtle nice and healthy. Most turtles love to swim, so your pets tank should have water for them to swim around in. During the day you should keep the tank at 80 degrees so they can stay warm, and 70 degrees at night for when they are ready to sleep! Also, turtles love vegetables, You should feed your turtle carrots and lettuce as a basic diet! Remember to take care of your turtle daily and keep it happy and healthy. Turtles are an awesome addition to Animaljam!
