My husband and I after lots of talking have decided that we would like to bring a turtle or a tortiose into our family. My Almost 6 year old daughter has been wanting a turtle for forever, but Im trying to really find the best match for our family and the one that would be the easiest for us to care for. We currently live in a townhouse, so we dont really have a yard we could keep the turtle in. I do have a small side yard which we can take the turtle or tortiose outside weekly as long as the weather is good. I also have a closed off room that none of our other pets are allowed in that I could set the turtle or tortiose up in. I live in cincinnati, oh so we pretty much have hot summers and cold cold winters. I was looking for a semi-aquatic or non aquatic turtle or tortiose. I am looking for a small hardy box turtle or tortiose. Does anyone have any Suggestions?? I can feed a protien diet or a mainly plant diet. It doesnt matter to me, but I need something that I can get captive bred and doesnt need a bunch of vet care. I would also like a turtle/tortiose that doesnt hide all the time. Thanks So much for taking the time to read this and helpout a young woman who honestly has no idea what she is doing! lol
