Okay, so your turtle won’t play fetch with a ball or roll over and enjoy a good tummy rub, but, these turtles can be very entertaining when you give them the right challenges. There are several things that you can do so that you can interact with your Painted Turtle and therefore bond with each other. These turtles are naturally curious and when you combine new adventures for them along with your biggest enticement “food” they will learn to do things relatively quickly. These are some of my Painted Turtle’s favorite games. My turtles are extremely healthy and happy, a big reason for this is because the are fit and entertained because of these exercises!
