I fed some pumpkin to my forstenii yesterday. I mixed the pumpkin meat with the orange threads in the middle of the pumpkin plus some seeds. This morning after soak, he pooed a lot of tiny fat worms. I didn't take any pictures, but basically the worms are white color and only about 1 - 2 mm. I wonder what it is.
I should try to feed him more pumpkin seeds next time

Xie xie. Can you buy this species in China?
YES, LOVELY ANIMAL, NICE SETUP. I PURCHASED TWO CB FORSTENS BRED BY BENJAMIN FORREST , THEY ARE QUICKLY BECOMING ONE OF MY FAVORITE SPECIES. THEY ARE HARDY , FRIENDLY AND DO NOT GROW TO A SIZE THAT WOULD BE HARD TO ACCOMMODATE IN A NORTH EASTERN WINTER. THE TWO FROM BENJAMIN A 6 MONTH OLD & A YEARLING ARE BY FAR THE MOST STUNNING TORTOISES I HAVE EVER RECEIVED . I HAVE THEM OVER 3 MONTHS NOW. THEY ARE AMAZING !
Yes, I appreciate Benjamin for making this species available in the states.
Would you mind sharing pictures of your forstenii? I'm getting 2 more hatchlings on 27 December.

Hi Yellow Turtle,
I tend to not pop up with all the "oh, so pretty" kinds of posts, but I'll make an exception here, those are very good looking tortoises.
I have seen the travel weary adults and I thought they were attractive, yet these young tortoises are spectacular.

Hi, my Forstenii - Gareng, Petruk, Bagong eating after soaking
They do have nice black colors. Cool to see!
Very nice ! Like Anthony said, they do have very distinct black....More-so then any others I've seen (not that I've seen many). Some more pics of their enclosures would be nice to!

Good! I'm glad you choose this beautiful species. I read that you are from East Borneo. Are you from Indonesia and Samarinda?
well actually i wonder how the heck did you know that but then i found out you can see it at my profile (i think they hide it).Sorry im just new to this kind of site .And its turn out you are from Indo as well,where is it?
It is hard to believe there is no local breeder selling that specimen here(at least i try searching via online),if you dont mind PM me about how you got them,a captive one,with the price too of course

Well, PM sent. I believe they are plenty of forsteni hatchlings in our country. Have you known how to take care of them? Here is one of the care sheet that I read before I purchased mines.
