Ours gets so dirty quick! I am thinking about taking the turtle to school this year as a class pet to go along with our guinea pig. I love having a guinea pig vs. hamsters. The guinea pig is very social and big enough to hold without squirming away. The kids would bring in carrots, celery, apples , etc. for her - which also promoted healthy lunches!! She always knew when it was lunchtime and would start squeaking for food! My 1st graders loved her!!
