In general, when talking about pets, people think of dogs, cats, hamsters and birds, considered the most common domestic animals and among them the dog is king, the pet par excellence. The truth is that today people have all kinds of animals that have been domesticated and among them many exotic animals are considered pets. I have had dogs since I was a child, today I have a female dog named Astra, but I also have a red-legged land turtle or a morrocoy turtle. She belonged to one of my grandchildren, but since he did not attend her, I asked her to give it to me. My morrocoy turtle is called Yuya and it feeds on vegetables, fruits and flowers, the flower that it likes the most are the hibiscus called cayena and cachupinas. What animal is your pet? Is it possible that you share a photo of her?

@karibe My girls played with a poor girl nearby until the girl stole 2 of their best dolls and the turtle. They saw them at her house but did not dare ask for them.

@karibe I have heard that some turtles live even up to 200 hundreds years and more so maybe it's good not to be in a rush.
His name is Jonathan, he's a giant tortoise, and at 182 year old he's believed to be the world's oldest living land creature. His name is Jonathan, he's a gi...

She teaches us to walk this life slowly and calmly and without getting too rushed, that little by little we get to where we want to go.

They get along well, there's no problem with them, they're actually regularly in different areas, there is not much closeness between them

It was found on the street when it was very small, now triple its size. He eats several things, but what he likes most is the hibiscus.
