Are there wild turtles in the pet store?
Wild turtles are turtles that are found in the wild, as opposed to captive-bred turtles. While turtles sold in pet stores have been bred and raised in human care, wild turtles have spent generations living in their natural, outdoor habitats.
Is it safe to release a pet turtle into the wild?
Because there is a risk of a pet turtle getting a disease from another pet turtle, but this can only happen if my turtle has come in contact with others, and it has not. It has lived a solitary life so far and has been kept in a clean habitat. This leads me to the next dilemma.
Is it true that domestic turtles can’t survive in the wild?
Is It True That Domestic Turtles Can’t Survive in the Wild? You have a domestic turtle now and he won’t last long in the wild. He won’t know how to evade predators, search for other means of food, and survive the winter because he has spent his life in a glass box. I completely disagree with this claim.
Can a turtle be put back in the water?
They can be put over the fence, off the road, back in the water, or at the very least given to professional organisations. If it’s about to be winter and you found a turtle, it STILL doesn’t need you to look after it.
