Hey quick question. I took my turtles outside for the first time since i got them. I was wondering if its safe for them walk around in the grass? I knkow animals and such trying to eat them could b a problem, but i was wondering if being in the grass could get them sick or infected. thanks hope u can help.

i let my turtle walk around and i would make sure your lawn isnt treated with pesticides or anything...i kno some people on here feel the risk of them hurting themselves is 2 great but as long as you keep a good eye on them there shouldent be a problem.

It's a risk that they might get lost, so make sure that you keep a constant eye on them. Also, watch for them to try and eat the grass. Your turtles can't eat outside of the water and they could choke.
