Hey all I know that turtles in general are not privy to being handled unnecessarily. We brought this turtle home as our pet and my four-year-old wants to play with her, I let her know that turtles are not too into being picked up… But I do let her place her in front of the food bowl and usually take her outside to a safe place to enjoy the day once a day do you think this is OK guys?

Wash her hands before and after handling and supervise that she is very careful.

Thank you! We do always do that , I just hope it doesn’t stress her out more than it is nice for her- I imagine it could be stimulating to be outside and my daughter loves her dearly.
