Babysitting terrapin

my kid cousins went away for a short holiday and they asked me to babysit their hmmm what i tot tortoises… but i mayb wrong – they could be tortoises, turtles or terrapins?? ha ha… i was clue less, so i did some research and found out the difference between tortoises, turtles and terrapins. 

it turned out that they were terrapins… there were 2 of them, living in a very small fish tank… it was kinda depressing lookin at them cramped up in the small tank…

Terrapines

so i went down to Pasir Ris’s Whitesands mall, to Pet Lovers Centre (#B1-13/14) to get help… the staff there were very helpful to explain to me wat the terrapins required.
