I am in Germany.

And almost all houses own pet of different kinds.

One comes to you and you are confused tongue undecided tongue

Is your house among the "almost all houses that own pets of different kinds"?

You said "almost all houses". That means not all. So why haven't you preached to those that don't have pets in Germany to have pets since you saying in Germany, keeping pets is a tradition?

I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this.. Mods,kindly help me move it to the right one.

So, I woke up this morning to find this creature in one of the buckets in the bathroom. My little nephew told me that he found it at our backyard this morning.
We don't know how it got there. Our backyard isn't bushy,neither is our area. Although there's some swampy land behind our compound,and it's possible that the heavy rain that's been falling for the past few weeks could have influenced it's migration to our compound.

The problem now is, we are confused on what to do with it.. My mom is talking about keeping it and raising it,but I don't think that's a good idea. A tortoise isn't an ideal pet in my opinion. We don't even know how to take care of it...
I suggested we sell it to a mini zoo that's located not too far from our area, but I'm not sure they would be willing to buy it.

I'm quite confused on what to do... Your advices would be well appreciated. Thank you

How much do you want to sell it? Let me know.

It looks beautiful and I already like your mum for suggesting you keep it. People that like animals are mostly nice people. However, if you can't provide its needs, please sell to the zoo people or even give it to them. That's the best you can do for it. I'd have suggested you return it to its environment, but going by the way you described the area, I believe it's a straight baby and wouldn't survive out there.

Which zoo are you asking him to sell the animal to?

Says who? I’ve been keeping a tortoise as pet for close to 8yrs now. So yes it can be domesticated, given that you can take care of it.
What do they eat?

tortoise is an animal i know so little about. I only read about them in story books as a kid. Hardly ever actually seen them in real life. Do you judge them as intelligent animals? Like i know dogs monkeys camels have cognitive intelligence. And even elephants. But i do wonder if parrots know their owners, cats and monkeys will leave the house one day and never come back. I wonder about snakes � too as pets.

Just the way you have napoleon mastiffs and chihuahuas in dogs… don’t be deceived, that baby tortoise might be as old as you.

I have 2 of such in my compound...though bigger than this your own.
I like the creature. Lot of people when they see it around my office begin to think it's charm...but who send them?
I feed them with cabbage, water melon, vegetables and other fruits. It takes palm fruits very well too.
There's nothing mysterious about this stuff u have here. U just said there's swampy zone around u. So why raising tension?

Keep it and u will enjoy d company for many many years to come.

How did you go about the housing aspect? Do you let it wander around your compound or you have a separate house for it?
I'd appreciate some enlightenment

It can be domesticated. I bought three for my son, he nortured them from when they were very small, now over a year and getting bigger. They are really cute and innocent.

Yea they’re very intelligent. I remember when i got it,It wouldn’t show its head out of it’s shell till am gone and would not let me watch it eat till am gone till it became very comfortable around me. I noticed it’s always hyperactive whenever it rains and plays around.

Well I’ve had parrots and a Monkey, one of the parrots killed the other then committed suicide few months later due to loneliness. The money got killed by electrocution after it climbed an high tension pole after robbing a kid off her biscuit. I love animals, especially exotic ones, i find them intriguing.
