Admin’s Note

Fūta’s story is very interesting. It shows that the longevity of turtles is influenced by more factors than we typically consider. In particular, the significant impact of diet and living environment may be common to other pets as well. It’s wonderful that younger generations like Chako are showing interest and wanting to keep turtles, as this can deepen the understanding of turtle care. I hope this leads to more people paying attention to the health management of their pets.
