This is my sister's Jurassic Park. I took some pictures of them while they were eating. There are three in total, but there is one that doesn't like me to watch them during lunch time, so he hid in his cave grumping 😂 I don't remember well, I think it was more than a year ago when those little rocks came out the ground at my grandma's backyard and my sister found them. There were more, but one of them died weeks after being found; two of them were adopted by one of my best friends, Maria. She adopted two because one of them was blind and the other was the one that always helped him to eat (contrary to the grump in the photo, who used to steal his food 😂). The blind one died some months ago, so she only has one now, I think she named him "Onix" after the pokemon. We only kept this three. They spend all day in the garden and we keep them in a box at night; they are still too small to protect themselves from predators (rats and large lizards) and also they get lost among my mom's plants. That's why my sister built this perimeter for them. They share their food with some young lizards, though. They mostly eat lettuce, Romaine lettuce to be more specific. Yeah, these three are especially picky on their food! We give them carrot, mango, tomato, celery, papaya... But never for two days in a row; they only eat those for one day and then they don't want that anymore. So, the only constant on the menu is the lettuce ("ROMAINE LETTUCE" they yell from inside their box 😂). Have a nice weekend, guys. 🐢 #English #Nature #Turtles ------------------------------------------ P.D: I forgot to mention that this species of turtle (Chelonoidis carbonaria) is called "Morrocoy". And here it is normal to have it as a pet.
