? Heres What You Should Know.

In just one month, weve come across three cases involving the welfare of eight red-eared sliders. Sadly, many people dont 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.

?
Before getting any pet, use the EMODE model to check if youre truly ready for the responsibility.
If you already have a terrapin, ensure they receive proper care. The RSPCA UKs 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 commitmentone that many owners are unprepared for. Recreating their natural habitat at home is extremely challenging.

If youre ready to welcome a pet into your life, reach out to shelters like the SPCA. Youll be giving an animal in need a second chance while making room for another rescue.

Adopting isnt just about bringing home a pet, its about making a real difference.
Because your choice helps create a better world for animals.
