Toys

Logs, cork bark, or plastic plants are examples of floating things that may be used for climbing, sunbathing, and exploring. Because they seem so much like what turtles see in the wild, turtles may find them entertaining to swim about or rest on.

Foraging toys are designed to mimic the act of foraging for food, which is a natural activity. Turtles may make their own basic foraging toys by manipulating sealed containers, plastic balls with holes, or pieces of PVC tubing to uncover food. As a result, the turtle's brain is kept active and busy as it eats.

Turtles may develop their motor skills and problem-solving abilities with feeding puzzles, which also encourage physical exercise. Making feeding puzzles for turtles may be as simple as cutting pieces of PVC tubing and drilling holes in them, or as involved as attaching food to floating platforms or constructing shallow dishes with obstacles for the turtle to overcome.

Things that Feel Good: Turtles love to play with things that feel good, including smooth pebbles, rough surfaces, or even floating plants. The tactile and exploratory qualities of these items make them ideal for kids.

Turtles may hide in underwater tunnels made of PVC pipe parts, and they can also use them to explore and find their way about. The turtle will have a blast swimming through and exploring a maze-like environment you create by arranging these tunnels in various ways.

While turtles probably won't play with balls or floating toys as much as other pets, they could nevertheless explore and touch them out of pure curiosity. A turtle may have fun and get some exercise by playing with large, light balls or floating toys, which it can explore or push about.

Turtles may benefit from enrichment in a variety of forms, including particular toys and changes to their surroundings. Changing the arrangement of existing things, adding new decorations or plants, or altering the enclosure's layout are all ways to provide new experiences and promote exploration.
