On March 10, 2014, I bought two turtles. They are grass turtles with a body length of about 6 centimeters. I think they are very suitable for raising turtles because they need to be quiet and do not require daily companionship and care. Filling enough food in the food box can last for 1 to 2 weeks. I only need to take care of them occasionally. At the end of March, I went to my sister's city for 20 days, and before I left, I put enough water and food in them. When I came back, they had no problem. At the end of April, I went to my parents' house for 15 days, and I still put enough water and food in them. They are now very good. So I think I am very suitable for raising turtles.

Fortunately, they are not very big. Females can grow up to 28 centimeters at most, while males have a smaller body size and can only grow up to around 15 centimeters at most.

Yes, although this turtle box was specially prepared by me for their arrival, I have already purchased a large box from a shopping website today. This large box can be mailed to my home in about 4 days.I believe that as they grow up, they will need to replace larger boxes in the future

The average lifespan of grass turtles raised in households is 50 years,At that time, I was already 85 years old, and I didn't know how long I could live, haha
