Its now 5 weeks since we got our group of Sri Lankan Stars. A trio of young adults and a ?trio of youngsters. Since arriving they've all been treated for worms and flagelletes following faecal analysis. The combination of Panacur and then Flagyl appears to have been sucessful as demonstrated by subsequent negative faecal tests and improved activity and appetite.
Once quarantine is complete we'll change their environment to a larger vivarium with a suitable substrate for potential laying. We've kept them in an environment as recommended by Tom. They seem to prefer an overall temperature of 28c with basking facility and UVB light addition. Humidity is around 75% and they're often spend periods soaking in shallow water. Their diet has increased and more become more varied as the weeks have passed. Now they take chopped grasses, dandelion, plantain, mallow, clover and have finally started to accept Nutrazu (mazuri). Next to try is pumpkins though the season's just starting in the UK.
