How to convince my mom for a Russian tortoise?
Okay so I really want a Russian tortoise and my mom doesn't want another pet (we already have two dogs). So how can I convince her ? What would be the benefit of adding a tortoise to our already large family (2 dogs a baby a 6 year old and me btw I'm 14)
hey there if your parents say no then perhaps they have their reasons. dogs and tortoises are natural enemies therefor it is dangerous combonation
