But I'm far from petless. At the moment we have two dogs and twelve (yes, twelve!) cats. What a great name for your turtle!

They do prefer redworms or earthworms (cut up big ones when the turtle's small) or crickets and small guppies (live food in other words). Usually as juveniles they are more carnivorous (amazingly so) and then turn more to plant material as they get older (dandelion greens are another good choice). My daughter's classroom got one of these as a pet, so I read up on them :-) hard to tell…is Terra a red-eared slider?

What a cutie!

*Cravin’, Terra has already grown in the month we’ve had her–I’m wondering how big she’ll get!

*Nino, I do love me some animules, yes ;)

*Flutter, and I’m sure turtles love you :)

Like Lilymane, I never used to understand how a pet you couldn't cuddle with could be a "good" pet, but now I have Blueberry 2.0, my Beta fish, and I love the little guy. He sits in a bowl on my desk at work, and as soon as I sit at my desk in the mornings, he swims to the front of the bowl facing me, and sits there until I pay him attention...too cute! Cute turtle!

Probably would prefer a worm or a grub unless it is a sea turtle, but cute nonetheless.<br/><br/>As to horseradish, we have it in our Coop, so maybe an annual trip to a bigger town with bigger supermarkets and more expats is in order?

Lame pet, some might say, but ours were really like cats or dogs in the sense that they responded to their names, fetched their food and ran around the house (ok, they were in their plastic little balls, but they did go around the house in them). They would sometimes just sit there and let us pet them too. <br/>Weird, I know, but those were our pets and we most likely won't get anymore for a bit. Our 8 month old, Sofia, keeps us as busy as we can be right now. <br/>Side note - I had a pet turtle when living in Italy named Pino. <br/>Lisa Well, our 2nd hamster in 4 years just passed away.
