Toys

Turtles may not be as toy-loving as other pets, but they may still get mental and physical stimulation from their surroundings. To help keep your Batagur borneoensis turtle happy and healthy, consider the following "toys" or enrichment items:

Turtles love playing with anything that float on the water, such plastic balls, plants, or even cork logs. Your terrapin will be able to maintain mental engagement during swim time with the aid of these things, which may provide exploring, pushing, and nudging chances.

Aesthetics and Enrichment: Live aquatic plants are a great addition to a terrapin's habitat for both reasons. As a means of enhancing their environment and engaging in natural activities, turtles may nibble on the plants, investigate their textures, or even utilize them as hiding places.

The terrapin may enhance its hunting and foraging abilities by introducing feeder fish, such minnows or guppies, into its watery home. While swimming, your terrapin will get cerebral and instinctual stimulation by watching and pursuing live prey.

Play the role of a forager by scattering little bits of food or goodies about the terrapin's habitat. Encouraging your terrapin to explore and forage by placing goodies beneath rocks, within floating items, or inside puzzle feeders can promote mental engagement and problem-solving abilities.

In order for the terrapin to relax and soak up some sun, you need provide its habitat with floating platforms or basking areas. These platforms may double as enrichment items for your terrapin, giving it the chance to climb and bask on various levels of its habitat.

Build underwater passages for your terrapin to explore by using PVC pipes or aquarium decorations to assemble tunnels or caverns. You may enrich your terrapin's underwater habitat with these tunnels, which it can use as refuge, swim through, or hide in.

To keep things interesting for your terrapin, it's a good idea to rotate and change up the objects in its cage on a regular basis. To keep them from becoming bored and to promote exploration and engagement with their surroundings, you may introduce new toys, rearrange décor, or alter the habitat's layout.
