Why don't you suggest raising grass turtles?

The main reasons why it is not recommended to keep grass turtles are as follows:

1. Bad feeding conditions: Soft-shelled turtles have high requirements on environmental temperature and humidity, and it is difficult to provide suitable conditions in line with their living habits in the family environment, which will lead to limited growth and development of soft-shelled turtles and even health problems.

2. Special eating habits: Turtles are omnivores, and they need to ingest protein from plants and animals. In the family environment, it is not easy to provide a variety of foods, which may lead to unbalanced nutrition and affect their health. In addition, the grass turtle eats a lot and the feeding cost is relatively high.

3, need long-term care: grass turtles have a long life span, generally more than 20 years, and can even reach about 50 years. Raising turtles requires long-term responsibility and patience, which may become the burden and pressure of busy modern people.

4, easy to get sick: soft-shelled turtle has weak immunity and is easily infected by various viruses and bacteria, such as enterovirus infection and respiratory system infection. Once infected, the health status of grass turtles is easy to deteriorate and even life-threatening.

5. Environmental pollution: Turtles will excrete in the water, which will easily affect the water quality environment. If the water quality is not changed or cleaned in time, grass turtles will live in an unhealthy environment for a long time, which will affect their physical and mental health.

6. It may cause environmental problems: turtles have strong reproductive ability. Once escaped or released, it may breed in the wild and have an impact on the local ecological environment.
