Turtles
and Tortoises : Caring for Them, Feeding Them, Understanding Them
by Hartmut Wilke, M. Heimter
Book Description:
Titles in the Family Pet Series offer basic information to families
and children who have little or no experience with pets. The books are
easy to read and understand, yet are filled with practical advice and answers
to questions that both inexperienced pet owners and kids are certain to
ask. Turtles and Tortoises advises on the care of these interesting animals
and tells how to distinguish one from the other. Freshwater tortoises have
high and more rounded shell shapes than pet freshwater turtles, and unlike
turtles, they do not swim. The author advises on the best places to obtain
turtles and tortoises, what to feed them, how to set up a minipond, how
to understand the animal?s body language, and even how to breed these creatures.
There are tips on dealing with problems, including skin shedding, and the
tendency of some animals to bite one another when kept as pairs. Here is
everything that beginning pet owners need to know about the care of these
fascinating reptiles. Full-color photos and attractive sidebars on nearly
every page.
