Many people, instead of having dogs, cats or other types of domestic animals, prefer to have turtles at home, since in his opinion these animals are much calmer and easier to maintain than any other animal. In the same way, many parents choose these animals for their children, to teach them the respect and dedication that one should have with animals, and teach them what responsibility really is.
It is for this reason, that for all of you who have decided to have turtles at home, we bring you some advice step by step, to create natural habitat of their animals at home. To create this habitat we will need the following materials: soil that we use in the garden (other than sand), water, leaves, plants such as purslane, or any other that is not poisonous or toxic for these animals.
The most important thing when creating this natural habitat is to bear in mind that turtles are reptiles, so they need a daily dose of sunlight. The best thing is that it is the animal who decides when to sunbathe, so we should leave one side of this dark habitat, while the other can be sunny. In the same way, depending on the climate of the area where you live, you may require an artificial lamp or not.
Keep in mind that the earth is a ideal factor for turtles, since in case of missing them and having them in artificial places with asphalt, it could cause problems in their legs and cause their claws to break. It is important that we always have soil in the habitat of these animals and that it is constantly humid to perfectly emulate their real habitat.
As soon as to spaceYou must remember that depending on the number of turtles you have, it should be larger, if you only have one pair, you can opt for a plate or a pond of more or less medium size. Remember that you cannot leave these animals in the sun all day without a humid space as they could die.
