Do you have many friends who own pets? I do have a few. One of my good friend owns a dog. My best friend owns some rabbits in his old house.
We have fish enthusiast back in office. I had the privilege to go to Yishun with them to take a look at the process of buying a small fight fish and the necessary nutrition and food for it. From the price tag of the tanks, pumps food and necessary maintenance fish, even a relatively cheap pet like fishes can eventually be expensive.
Owning a pet is abt like putting a child through school. There are much benefits to it and provides a nice distraction but requires commitment.
One that many do not count much is how much it cost to maintain a pet through its life time.

apparently it can get pretty expensive! you know you need a special LED light to simulate sun light for terrapins. that is additional to food. but on second thoughts perhaps turtle doesn't need grooming but its the skill to ensure that they are healthy!
