Taking an animal out of the wild and making it a pet is wrong. If an animal needs human intervention and ends up in captivity that is one thing but to take a healthy animal from a happy home in it's natural environment is very crule.

∙ 12y agoFirst, you need to buy a tank.(5.5-10 gallon tanks are usually the best for babies) Then you need to buy some food. I'd suggest freeze dried krill, or floating hatch-ling pellets. Then you need some tank accessories, because of course you can't just put a baby turtle in a tank full of water, it would drown. Anyway, I suggest a floating dock you attach to the wall of the tank, maybe some rocks for the bottom of the tank. Then you'll need a filter for the water. (To keep it clean) I suggest a Whisperer 10i for maximum cleanness. (You'll also want extra filter packs .After that you add water a little less than half way up the tank. As an added measure for ultimate comfort and cleanness, I suggest you buy some anti-infectant, dissolvable, turtle packs.( They are white and in the shape of a turtle.) Buy all of this at Pet Supplies Plus. I hope you enjoy taking care of turtles as much as I do. I own 9 turtles.

-However, they are approximately £300.00 each in addition to expensive food and tanks. Also, you will have high electricity bills, because the tanks use up lots of electricity.
Also, to be frank, turtles are exceptionally boring pets, as you can't hold them, pet them or teach them tricks, you just watch them swim around.
But it's your choice to make, I hope you make a good one!

∙ 16y agoNO!.... they are a protected species! You are also not allowed to keep bass, trout, salmon etc.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoSome species, like the red slider, and the Box turtle, are fair pets, but be sure to wash hands after handling them, because the shell may have traces of salmonella present.

Are mud turtles good pets for kids?
yes, they are. although I would not recommend turtles as a good kid pet anyway. if you are going to give your child a turtle, mud turtles are a good beginner turtle. as are box turtles. I have three turtles, a mud turtle, a box turtle, and a spotted turtle, and I am 13. Although it is also a question of how responsible you or your child is.
