Mrs. Laurie’s pet turtles visited us on Wednesday. We learned about caring for a pet turtle, what they eat, and how they exercise and interact as pets.
One of my favorite things about sharing my pet turtles is answering the children’s questions and seeing how creative their minds are. My favorite question this time was “What kinds of toys do they play with?”. I explained that turtles love to climb on items and hide, so they have a hollowed out tree trunk that they can climb on or hide inside. They love to dig in their dirt and swim in their water. My Russian Tortoise has a ball with holes that we can put lettuce in for him to interact with. What a great question from a student! 🩷🐢
