Nope. My country only sell MVB and coiled uvb. MVB wattage is too hot for his enclosure. I ended up giving natural sunshine as his uvb source.Does he have a uvb light in his enclosure?
Giving him a better outdoor enclosure finished several days ago. Haven't update what i promised on that thread. Been busy these days.

Lol you make me laugh hard. Why emoticon is so little in desktop version. It just real life busy haha, nothing because weighing haha.That's because you are too busy weighing him !
Just read through the link you posted. Man my spelling and/or auto correct was terrible. Glad you were able to figure out what I was saying through all the misspelled words.Lol you make me laugh hard. Why emoticon is so little in desktop version. It just real life busy haha, nothing because weighing haha.
Btw my hand itchy to type he is gaining weight again today. But welll.... wait a week for posting weigh haha.
And now i really know what is the meaning of sulcata eat like a pig. When i started adopt toro, i was confused, it seems toro not really ate like a pig. Now i always amazed how he managed to put all the food inside his body, and the other morning, he still searching for food. These 2 days, he makes me stretch my head lol. Like today morning, i am looking at him, he is looking at me, he is hungry, i am confuse haha.
Thank you for all the help from all the members here, i got a lot of confidence boost and advise, and still are. I still remember how @wellington patiently explain to me when i confuse about amount of eating here: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/daily-food-for-sulcata-tortoise.142964/ . Thanks friend!
New sharing, last week i found Toro got puffy eyes, right one is puffier. I was going to PM @Yvonne G about this. But i think i read everything first in forum, maybe i would get my answer. A lot of solution provided, and after all the reading, i think Vit A deficiency is the easiest solving problem, maybe he is lacking vit A. So i just chop carrot to his mazuri, a bit of carrot no harm right? And yes, his eyes better. I think now still have a very little puffy eyes,but will gone soon hopefully.
I am really carefull about not waiting until everything get to bad condition as i can only rely on myself, no reptile vet in my place. My vet is tortoiseforum.org haha.
oo my gosh. So much similarities with Taco. Born almost the same, if probably not from the same clutch. Considering we live in the same countryOk. This works or not. I am weighing toro almost everyday because the scale only beside toro's enclosure, i can't help my hand to place toro at there for 2 seconds lol. He never goes to 65g, even 64 is only sometimes. 3 days ago i gave new food. Today he is 66 g. For the first time!!! If this is keeping up, then i thinks i solve my own problem.
Ps. Toro does not like grape leaves, i just left the leaves and never offer it anymore or what?
Ps. I find toro does not like his food chopped, i think he likes to rip the leaves?!?!
Cross finger for all this!!! Hope the weight start to climbing and never goes down lol. Tomorrow will be his mazuri day.
Probably. Call me in private if you need anything.oo my gosh. So much similarities with Taco. Born almost the same, if probably not from the same clutch. Considering we live in the same country
He is 81g today. His eyes keep better, i think fully recovery now. I do recommend chop carrot once a week for sulcata mix with what food he is eating that day. I mix it to mazuri.So what's Toro's weight today? How's his eye? By "water spinach" do you mean kangkung? (Local vegie here). Do you offer it as a treat? How do you do that? Taco only wants to eat once a day
I usually give him food in the morning while he is sunbathing, left food will be taken to his indoor enclosure and he can eat it whenever he wants.So what's Toro's weight today? How's his eye?

Welcome! We are here to share the same passionate.Hahaha. I know exactly what you mean by asking about pesticides. I usually regret asking it the minute I finish my sentence. Thank you so much for sharing Toro's diet. I will definetly try that. Siomak is very hard to find where I live. Funny you should mention about seeds. My seeds that I ordered from tokopedia just came today. I got some christmas cactus, cat grass among other things.. dunno if it will grow well. And dunno if Taco's gonna like it. But I think it's woth to try. Hey, anything for our torts, right?
I feel awful about waking Taco up though. I soak him twice a day. The last one being around 5 when he's still awake. And after that he's totally spent. Just wanna hide in his cave and sleep. Hey don't worry about your english. It's very good.
Yes!! And it is the first time in my life i pull out something from trash bin and wash it. Btw you just stick it to soil, eliminate the "trash bin" step lol.That's hilarious! Never thought siomak can grow in a trash can. It probably was the only pleasant surprise that can come from opening a trash bin. Hahahah. Good story though. I'll see if I have any luck with my trash bin
as far as the soil and coir. I usually try to buy it online. If they say it's organic and some people have purchased from them, then I think it's a good sign. After that, I cross my fingers and hope Taco will be ok and try not to think about it too much
