Hi guys, I am wondering if the leaves of amorphophallus paeoniifolius or elephant yam are edible for my star tortoise. Not that I am feeding them with it, its leaves may sometimes fall down that are reachable for the tortoise. thanks.
Hello,
To my understanding, high humidity in juvenile enclosures are vital to the health of the tortoises as well as to grow smooth shells.
Id like to know whether this would be relevent to adult tortoises.
More specifically, my burmese star is now 2kg. She has a bowl of water that is...
He owns a sulcata and no box turtles because they are expensive. For those who want to know a bit about the chinese turtle market. In China, turtle hobbyists are more inclined to box turtles because of their monetary value, medicinal value ( sorry and yes some of us consume them ) and simply the...
I am curious. In that case how much pellet do you feed i.e. pellet to tortoise size ratio. My understanding of redfoot is that their diet requires more proteins than species like sulcata , stars. But interesting to see heavy diets of mazuri with success.
Dont get me wrong. I am only talking in a hypothetical ground. To test the impact of high nutrient diet as the single variable to see the effects of it on pyramiding.
Have anyone experimented with using only Mazuri/ Zoomed pellets as their major diet with high humidity/ normal lighting/soakings etc?
I am curious to know how much effect nutritious diets (high protein) impacting pyramiding.
Thank you Ken in particular. The common understanding to me is also 2f1m. I have been observing my tortoises for 2 full days (thanks weekend) almost to see if any aggression arises during the day. While there might be occasionally shell bumping, I haven't seen any biting. But they definitely...
Thank you for the response. The feedbacks have been extremely useful! I am giving them as much as I could to make sure they grow into healthy animals :).
Thanks for the feedback. I know that they are a little young right now. one being 100g the other 240g. Im expecting the 240 to flash anytime (if my suspicion is correct). Just that sometimes tortoises, when young, if they look like a male they are probably a male while if they looked female...
Hi guys,
This is my first forum post and it would be wonderful if you can lend your expertise.
I need a little help with sexing.
It looks like I've got two males.
I also have one subadult female.
It is not very recommendable as a breeding pair is it?
