: Pipe down Sherrif,
: you were not 8 when you got your tortoises.
: I have a 9 year old daughter and she takes good care of her mouse, but the torts/turts are my responsibility. Even though one of the box turtles was bought for her.
: The problem with younger kids is that they often lose interest, and prefer furry, hands on pets.
: A turtle can be badly injured should a child drop it, and turtles don't enjoy being handled, so they don't make the best pets for kids.
: No turtle/tortoise is going to enjoy being handed from kid to kid, and maybe dropped in the process.
: If the parents are responsible, do their research and teach the kids how to handle a turtle and take care of it. They can make good pets. However most children enjoy pets that are more outgoing and active than a tortoise/turtle, which spends most of it's life hiding under a bush.
: To the person who posted , here is a link to the Tortoise Trust web site, a great place to start learning about turtles/tortoises. Go to the links section of the site and you will find a link to the Box Turtle Care and Conservation web site. The best box turtle site available.
: Terry. who keeps sulcatas, box turtles and C.galbinifrons(<-- not for beginners).
