Our first pets – 2 red-ear sliders or terrapins (turtles)
The children wanted pets, and the lowest maintenance for HDB living would be the common turtles, ie red-ear sliders or terrapins from USA.
We dug out the concrete flower pot (with low walls) from IKEA, bought while we were at Redhill Close, then washed it really clean. With the walls rather low, we took some old plastic baskets from YowCH’s mum’s place and cut them up to size to form a higher fence.
Today, last day of the school holidays, we bought 2 terrapins at $3.00 each.
Here are the terrapins in their new home:
