There’s a lot of information out there about how cats and dogs can be great companion animals for the elderly, lonely people, and people who have medical conditions. They are even great companions for people who live alone or spend a lot of time alone! What about turtles? Do they make good companions?

If you’re looking for an animal that actively looks for regular interaction, you won’t find it with a turtle. Sure, they’d love to come out and explore their environment, but in general, they don’t much care if you’re there while they do it or not.

However, if you’re just looking to feel important by taking care of something else, a turtle might be just the ticket. They take a lot more care and consideration than other animals!
