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.

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.
