Our terrapins take their first trips outside!

Terrapins need plenty of vitamin D to help build healthy shells. During the winter months, they get their vitamin D from special lights and dietary supplements, but there’s no substitute for real sunshine! Now that the weather is warm and the sun is shining, our terrapins have been taking their first trips outdoors to bask. The hatchlings even tried a little (carefully supervised) exploration of the outside world.
