Back in high school volunteering at the Oregon Zoo I got to clean the tanks the small baby turtles were kept in until they were too big for bullfrogs to eat. The little guys were super adorable!
I'm a little confused so it's illegal to have non native turtles in Oregon because I was thinking about getting a eastern painted turtle but it's not a native turtle in Oregon
Assholes get bunnies for their kids all the time and then realize it's a very difficult pet to care for and instead of just euthanizing the pet they go and dump them in the forest and it causes massive invasive species issues the rabbits cause enough of an issue let alone non-native species are going to push these native species to Extinction you don't need a pet f****** turtle
