𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧? Here’s What You Should Know.⁣

In just one month, we’ve come across three cases involving the welfare of eight red-eared sliders. Sadly, many people don’t realise how difficult these terrapins are to care for, and they often suffer in unsuitable environments.⁣

The EMODE models rate terrapins as “difficult” to “extreme” in terms of care. They need specialised attention, plenty of space, and the right conditions to stay healthy.⁣

⁣

“𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐃𝐨 𝐈𝐭”? 𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭…⁣

Before getting any pet, use the EMODE model to check if you’re truly ready for the responsibility.⁣

If you already have a terrapin, ensure they receive proper care. The RSPCA UK’s guide offers useful tips on creating a suitable environment for them.⁣

Many people buy terrapins because they are small, cute, and inexpensive, sometimes costing as little as $2. However, their long lifespan and complex needs make them a huge commitment—one that many owners are unprepared for. Recreating their natural habitat at home is extremely challenging.⁣

If you’re ready to welcome a pet into your life, reach out to shelters like the SPCA. You’ll be giving an animal in need a second chance while making room for another rescue.⁣

⁣

Adopting isn’t just about bringing home a pet, it’s about making a real difference. ⁣

Because your choice helps create a better world for animals.⁣
