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.
