No I keep it inside but I do take it outside as often as possible. I was reading at another website before getting onto TFO and the info there advised to give then natural sunlight as much as possible and that is what I had been doing all the time, OMG I had been suffering my little honey bug, I...
What's the difference @ZEROPILOT and as I previously asked.
1 - I live in the West Indies (Trinidad) where it is naturally hot day and night, in light of this do I still need to have the UVB lighting? And also I am hearing a lot about Humidity, Hydration and correct Temperature help, I am lost...
Well @KarenSoCal I went through the entire link and yep she is definitely endangered, (can't get my head wrapped around saying she yet. I got so used to saying he). So thank you again I will discuss with my husband about the permit and will keep you posted. I am grateful for all the help.
Thank you for the links @KarenSoCal , I do have a YF and I just realized that my he is actually a She, wow two female in the same house I wonder how that is gonna work out. I am supposed to be the only female in this joint (smiling).
WOW, I did not know that @KarenSoCal , thank you for educating me about my own country. Couple weeks ago my husband saw an adult, well a bigger one, strolling across the road like no body's business, he stopped and helped her/him to get safely across to the other side of the street, got back...
Down here there are no penalties @KarenSoCal , they are commonly kept as pets for those who are so inclined. Few people ever take up that challenge though I guess because of the amount of work and the huge responsibility also, the more common type of pets are dogs, cats, birds and fishes.
I have no idea @T Smart if they are or not, actually I only labeled it as such because earlier on I posted a pic and was told that's what it is.This is my first close encounter with a tortoise except for when I see them at the zoo. I have never really researched it as I have never had it in...
Hi all, I live in the West Indies (Trinidad) where it is naturally hot day and night, in light of this do I still need to have the UVB lighting? And also I am hearing a lot about Humidity, Hydration and correct Temperature help, I am so lost with that.
Secondly: the veterinarians in Trinidad...
Thank you @ZEROPILOT
Glad to know that. He has finally started pooping in his soaking water, what a relief. Even that was a concern for me because from other research it seem like something natural and supposed to happen but it never happened until yesterday.
@ColaCarbonaria .. I am not sure what those are, I will do my research and as long as I can locate them I will. I checked out the link and I have noticed most people post pics before feeding to be sure it is safe, so I am going to try that myself because I am not very educated on different type...
Thank you @domalle, so I guess just leave him to soak as long as he wants to, yes?
Latest update: He is now enjoying watermelon and cucumbers, I tried him with pears and apples he is refusing. Got him to take a little calcium, @ColaCarbonaria I will get the cuttlebone tomorrow God willing when...
I love you @ColaCarbonaria thank you soooooooo much. I am almost certain imma get him to eat that way because he just loves the cucumbers. I did not even think about that, thank you. The cuttlebone if you say it is sold for birds then I am sure I will get it. Yes I have been directed to all the...
Thank you @ColaCarbonaria I will try it.
I offered him the cucumber which he loves and he is eating that, I was hoping to get him to eat other food varieties besides just cucumber. But for the moment he is eating the cucumber. My next challenge is to get him to take the calcium.
Question: if...
I wish I was @Tom then I could have given him to one of you guys because I think I am failing to give him the care he needs though I am trying very hard. I got him to start eating a grape this morning but then I put the calcium on it and he stopped eating and have not eaten anything else for the...
