I believe the longest living pets are the turtles.
Some people don't seem to realize that most turtles are carnivore. They require meat to survive.
I just saw someone asking questions about turtle online and he said he was feeding the turtle bread!
Wheat flour is worthless and just empty nutrition to a turtle.
When I had a turtle during my childhood, at first I didn't know better either...until my little "peaceful" turtle ate my two of my goldfish.
We didn't have internet back then to do research that easily.
Ever since that happened, I fed my turtle mostly raw pork, sometimes fish meat. He seemed to be really happy and excited every time I fed him. He would use one claw to keep the meat in place, while pull the other end with its mouth.
I had it for quite a few years, until one day he escaped!
My aunt has a turtle for more than 25 years. Nobody knew how old the turtle was when she got it. One time at a furniture store, the owner told me his turtle is well over 30 years old when I asked.
They can live for hundreds of years in fact. You can pass this pet on for generations!
