Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Sun May 09, 2010 1:23 am   woot woot!

i put a add on craigslist for guppies and some guy in my town has this nice big 30ish gallon tank FULL of guppies so he gave me 8 for free (the local pet store sells them for 9 bucks each, way to expensive if you ask me) all the females he gave me are pregnant. i put one of the males in the turtle tank and they chased him around for abit but decided he was to hard and just ate their pellets... i wonder how long this little guy will live!

Yeah everything here is expensive. I live in one of the most expensive cities in canada to live in. I don't understand why its so expensive considering its not even a big city.

I get kinda aggravated when I see people on here saying they got their turtles for 5-20 bucks. I wish mine were that much! Mine cost me $58 bucks each.

This was from a big petstore, petland. I called the small local store to see if they could get cheaper ones and they could but for like 8 bucks cheaper, but they were having a hard time ordering so I just payed the extra 8 bucks.
