Thanks Tom! I am gonna buy all required equipments for him ASAP. Kindly name the instrument that you use for providing heat at night? Coz if I use any bulb or lamp, he wont sleep. He craves dark for sleeping.
He likes to be in his home at night and for some time in noon to take a nap. Rest of the time, he likes roaming around and sits near us. We read that turtles must be kept properly in an enclosed area. But this one wants us to be near us, otherwise he becomes jumpy. We tried variety of diet for...
Thanks for looking into matter Tom and Wellington!
Hi!
Thanks for replying! We have made a small house type thing for him. Substrate is soil and lawn grass. We soak him twice a day in water and he poops usually after that. He eats Hibiscus leaves and Cucumber twice a day. I live in India, so...
Hi People!
My baby star turtle is looking weak and lazy since 2 days. He eats twice a day and is very playful usually. But recently, he is been hiding in dark, looking lazy, eating without interest, not playing, urinating randomly, pooping anytime. He is also very regular with pooping and...
Hello Roshni!
Start feeding them more leaves, and try to give cucumber less. Give them grasses, leaves, flowers (hibiscus, rose), or all the things having high fibre and calcium. You need to leave them in Sun for some time daily. Give them a bath daily. Once a month, scrub shell with old...

Hi! We are in India and it is pretty hot over here, that is why, we left it to roam around house. We just made a home for it, with 2 shelters, basking area and food area. It is roaming around drinking water atleast...not touching food yet. When we peep over its shelter, it wants to come out and...
OK. he is sleeping for now in a dark spot that he chose for himself. whenever he wakes i try to tempt him with food, but he doesnt even open mouth. hope he eats soon.
Hi! I have got a new baby star tortoise. Its very active and playful. It hates confinement and likes to run all over house and find a spot for itself. I am worried as it hasnt eaten anything since yesterday (it came yesterday), and its also not pooping. If anybody can help me with any...
