easiest pet I ever took care of was a rock. no food. no water. no walks, no kennel/sitter ever needed. “lived” for years until I took it to the lake to go swimming. (playing “taps” slowly on the bugle.)
Go with it, Ziggy. It’ll never mess up your place, and it’ll never cost you vet bills (at least, in the future). And it’s just as likely as a real turtle to come when you call.
My youngest brother had a “pet rock” back in the early 60s, before you could buy one. On a cross-country trip, one of my other brothers threw it out the window. He kicked up such a fuss, my Dad turned around and searched for 10 minutes before finding a rock my youngest brother would accept as a substitute. I think they both knew it was not the same rock but ten minutes is a long time to be screaming and crying. :)

I would have turned it upside down first.
