Frequently asked questions
Does my turtle listen to its name?
Turtles have pretty poor hearing and therefore don't respond to their name. However, it is possible that the turtle will move in your direction due to the vibrations caused by us humans when we approach it. But this is not connected with calling the name.
What are the most popular turtle names?
The leader in gender-neutral names is Morla. The female turtle names are given by Hilde, the male ones by Paul.
