so this is the second time ive woke up to find my lil ralphie upside down on his shell in his water dish. what the hell is he doing!? Does anyone else have this problem? Im afraid hes gona drown himself If i leave the house for a day.

ok, i can finally get ralph to eat pretty much any fruit or veggie but no proteins. Ive tried worms, mealworms, sardines, and the latest was salmon but he wants no part of it. He gets plenty of greens, mushrooms and fruit so i know hes not starving but ive had him for a couple months and the...

Well proteins still arent a hit with ralph. the last thing i tries was sardines and it was a no-go. today im gona try some canned salmon and see what happens.

how high do they like their water? hes a homes hingeback and im wondering how much of him should be submerged. also, ive tried worms, mealworms and sardines and he aint buyin it. not even 1 bite. does he really NEED the protein or is it more of a treat? it seems like ive heard mixed reviews...

my homes hingeback is doing pretty well with fruits and veggies now which im pretty happy about but so far wont eat the mealworms or earthworms ive tried to give him. Ive heard you can feed em wet cat food for protein, is this true? It seems kinda weird to me but i know he needs protein and not...

ok i finally got some pics up so feel free and check out my gallery and comment...or not. the pics arent all that great yet. i think i need to work on the lighting.

Okay I just got a humidity reader for my forest hingeback (ralph). If someone could point me in the right direction as to what that needs to read I think ill be pretty much set. Except id still like some advice on maximizing his space in my little apt since I've got him in a 75 gal. aquarium...

Okay. Eating is much better and ralph seems pretty happy (although shy). Temps good and I'm pretty sure I've got the humidity thing down too. After measuring, ralph is actually closer to 7" long and I have him in a 75 gallon aquarium. I wish I could make him a big spot outside but this is not...

Okay, I just blanched some carrots and smeared some banana on them. Let's see if it works!

My new forest hingeback is about 8in or so from the front to the back of his shell. Can anyone tell me about how old he is and/or how big I can expect him to get? Thanx.

I was told to get a 160 watt mercury bulb for lighting so I spent 60 bucks on one and now all I'm reading is I need low lighting. This bulbs pretty bright so what should I do about that. Also hell only eat bananas. I just gave em some mushrooms a bit ag so ill see if hell eat those. Any other...
