Turtle Care

Outside Turtle Care

An outside turtle can have a bath or pond to live in.  IT has to be big enough for the turtle.  Turtles can live up to 100 years so you have to really want one

• You need to clean the water out every one to two weeks

• They need a rock/platform or space outside of the water to sunbathe

• Feed every second day.  They eat frozen fish from the pet shop, fruit, veges and live insects

• In winter they hybernate,  I put straw under the water so he can stay a little warm.  You may need to cover the pond or bath to stop the frost.  I use a plank of wood.

• They love to be with people, you can talk, or put on lawn for a walk

• Some like to be scratched on their head a neck, some may bite

Holiday Fun

I am living at my Nanny and Pops farm in Rangiora.  During the lockdown i have spent lots of time helping pop on the farm. I built a bike jump.  I have also been playing on the rope swing.  In one of the paddocks Pop made a small golf course. 
I also shot a rabbit (i had to put a box over the pic so it was not yucky for everyone).  I have also done some crafts with Mum.
