My Unique Pets
By Enda-Ungu
I’m used to having pets at home because my family are pet lovers. I have kept two
turtles since February 2003. I put them both in a tank in my room.

The name of the male turtle is Donatello and the female one is called Rafael. It is
quite easy to keep them. They can survive without food for about two months. However,
they need a comfortable place to live. They have to live with imported soil and plants,
good water circulation and a piece of dry trunk in the aquarium. Inadequate conditions
can not only cause stress but also affect their growth. The worst thing is they may even
end in death.

The weapon of an adult turtle lies in the edge of its shell. He will use it when he is
disturbed.
