QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Oct 2 2011, 04:12 PM) People use Cuttlefish bone instead of cuttlefish itself !! Beside calcium I use them as jaw trimmer . the turtle will bite it isit?.. http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/sepia_bones.php Exo-terra sell them as sepia bones !! Cheers |

QUOTE(a_sim @ Oct 5 2011, 10:31 AM) Last time my fighting fish having same prob but did not swim side way but the tummy swollen and slowly bcome bigger end up x.x.... yeap..i'm a bit sceptical of that this morning after some consideration...i tink i'm going to fast the fish for a few days..if still not cure then better to cull it.. Since your betta got prob liao you dare to feed to ur RES ah? Will the disease spread? this morning it was swmming a bit better..but i dun tink it will last long...i better start looking for a new male betta.. |

QUOTE(OMGGED @ Oct 6 2011, 04:48 PM) yeah yeah yeah i think it's sulcata =) u want something that stay on dryland and needs sun/basking light?..then tortoise is ur choice...i hope sifus here can give me some guidance cause i am totally new man and rm500 for a tortoise is really expensive so i wanna know is it easy to keep or maintain ? Got any recommendation on other kind of tortoise but looks like sulcata ? i want those that doesnt grow that fast so i can keep in my room longer then when it grow larger only i find a new place for it thanks alot again want smth tat stay in water + land +needs sun/basking lamp?..then take turtle.. tortoise are generally BIG over a period of time...turtle if u pick the smaller species (like musk turtle,reeves turtle, diamondback) the size is at least manageable..but they need water... if u got a pond or those blue plastic aquarium, then do consider a turtle.. |

QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Oct 6 2011, 07:44 PM) Similar as in colour or ?? Try wait for Greek or Russian they may be offered cheaper and stay way smaller than Sulcata !! is the pattern on the Russian tortoise the opposite of sulcata?..meaning: instead of the lines being darker chocolate color (like in sulcata), the lines in russian is ligther in color..and the patch is darker in color instead of ligther (lighter like in the sulcata)? Try google for picture of Russian , Greek ........ Cheers Added on October 6, 2011, 8:59 pm QUOTE(OMGGED @ Oct 6 2011, 08:13 PM) ok googled.. errr..u wanna put the tortoise in ur room?..and living room?..well, first of all, u must know tat u needa put drinking water for it..it mite made a mess of it..secondly, if it defecate, u mite needa remove it if it roams around the room....i found them all look almost the same =P.. dont really know how to differentiate them properly cause still newbie... yeah similar as in the colour or the outlook...where got sell this kind of tortoise ? u guys know any pet shop selling ? just some pointers tat u mite wanna take into consideration before ur purchase.

QUOTE(ajiemohamed1230 @ Oct 31 2011, 11:35 AM) i love turtle. use to have a pair of RES. i admit i was a lousy owner, didnt knew a thing about taking care of them, even the pet shop salesgirl told me they should be ok in a small bowl. looking back, i feel so sorry for them. im planning to get turlte now, but this time im going to get proper tank with basking area n UV lamp. good thing i can get all the info from this thread. just feel free to ask whenever a question pops up in ur mind..otherwise, u can always google... for any pets, we should gather info before getting the animal. |

QUOTE(fantasyee @ Feb 8 2012, 11:02 PM) Hi... Can anyone tell me whats wrong with the turtle? I just bought it and don't think it is eating.. i guess the diet must've been changed and its not used to it yet..give it sometime...provide it with the food u bought, but in small amount...after it starts taking it, then can consider increasing the amount fed to it..» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « sometime when brought home fr shop, it is still not accustomed to the new environment, so it will refuse to eat...anyway, thie species of turtle grows fast, so u mite need a bigger tank and not the small plastic ones. |
