3. Terrapins In Captivity Terrapins are often dumped in local parks and ponds when the owner realises how long they will live and how big they will get. The hatchlings are so tiny and cute owners do not consider that they will be so difficult to look after.
4. The “Death Bowl” At one point these less than adequate bowls were commonly sold at pet shops as appropriate homes for Terrapins. Luckily the internet has made it easy for keepers to communicate and advise others to avoid such cruelty. Terrapins living in this environment were never to last longer than a year and experienced keepers have since dubbed it ‘the death bowl.’
Hello, I am hopefully going to tell you many things you don’t know about Terrapins, please feel free to stop me at any point if you have any questions.
