In these fast-paced times, we're all busy. Although there are many socials and there is no shortage of people at the drinking party, when we need a real friend, we often don't know who to call. As a result, more and more people are looking for alternative partners, whether it is for love, hobbies or spiritual sustenance, in short, we want to add color to our spiritual world.
Pets have become an integral part of many people's lives. Whether it is the dogs and cats that young people like, or the birds and fish that literary and artistic youth love, they are appearing more and more frequently in our lives and becoming an intimate existence second only to relatives and friends. Some even treat them as part of the family. But the sad thing is that those once lively and cute pets may grow old and die in an instant, which will undoubtedly bring us an inexplicable sadness.
And raising turtles may be a better option. Turtles generally have a long lifespan, even some purported short-lived turtles, they have a lifespan of more than 15 years, and most turtles can live for more than 25 years if they are kept normally. The lifespan of semi-water turtles such as yellow margin can even reach more than 50 years. If you have a tortoise, you have no problem at all as an heirloom.
Moreover, the care of the turtle does not take much time and effort. They basically don't need our company other than feeding and changing the water. Once the turtles have acclimatized, we can feed them normally until they die.
An example is Jonathan's Galapagos tortoise, which has survived generations of keepers. If you start raising turtles at a young age, many species of turtles will still be able to stay with you until the next generation. You can witness their growth, and they can also witness your journey in life.
In addition, turtles have many other advantages. They are quiet, don't require much care time, and can live well without eating for long periods of time, making them ideal pets for business travelers. Moreover, it does not take much space to keep turtles. If you have a large enough territory, you can even raise many kinds of turtles to satisfy your desire to explore the world of turtles.
So, stop thinking of turtle farming as a form of entertainment in old age! Once you step into this pit, you'll find that there's not only depth, but there's so much more to discover. If you don't believe me, ask your turtle friends! Do they often think about buying more turtles? If it weren't for self-control, the house would have become a farm long ago!
So, while we're still young, why not raise a turtle to accompany us as we grow old? This is also a style of life!
