Turtle

Turtles have been here for 200 million years and bring a quiet, unhurried presence to any home that's genuinely calming to be around. They're also a long-term commitment — well-cared-for turtles live 20 to 40 years. Semi-aquatic species need clean filtered water for swimming and a proper basking area with a heat lamp for thermoregulation. UVB lighting is non-negotiable indoors: without it, turtles cannot metabolise calcium and develop metabolic bone disease. The bulb needs replacing every 6 to 12 months even when it appears functional. Our Turtle collection at Cuddle Paws Co covers food, habitat equipment and care accessories. Set their environment up correctly from the start.
