Oral is the only way thats most effective (I think) !!

Type of medicine depends - theres a few (different worms will need different types same as dosage )
Best to consult a vet - size of tortoise beside sp all need adjusted dosage !!

Are you over-doing it ? Even if vitamin or Calcium(REPTILES dont utilise such stuff as easily as us , mammals ) I also wont recommend you do it every day , more a type of drugs !!

Do you worm yourself every meal ie 3-5 times a day ? (I think most human do it once or twice a year )

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Care to show which type of de-worming powder ? So as to determine which type of drug used - or maybe I can help determine dosage

I prefer liquid as dosage easier to calculate and with accuracy (With powder how do you weigh to micro-gram...........)

Cheers

OK then since under Vet instruction - what more can I say !!

But in forum pls make yourself clear IF NOT some novice will just take that piece of advice ( just one small little pinch for my 5" leo on their meal once a day) as a sure must and blindly follow !!


Cheers

Maybe they longer thus more dose LOL

People use Cuttlefish bone instead of cuttlefish itself !! Beside calcium I use them as jaw trimmer .

http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/sepia_bones.php

Exo-terra sell them as sepia bones !!

Cheers

Yes , they will "bite " at it , eating some beside trimming its jaw OR you can do the job for them - motar/pound it to powder and sprinkle it with/on their food !!

Cheers

Similar as in colour or ?? Try wait for Greek or Russian they may be offered cheaper and stay way smaller than Sulcata !!

Try google for picture of Russian , Greek ........
Cheers

Let me try clear the air - all green that's grown , harvested in the open ( except for netted closed in system ) has the possibility of passing on worms to our pets !! Why one might ask , some bird might fly pass and poo(worm plus their eggs) on the leaves and so on till we feed our pets !!

So not just kangkung can pass on worms all green are possible !!

Cheers

If one not Hav so many pets instead of soaking can try inspect / clean leaf by leaf pior to feeding ? No veggie is bad if used sparingly !!

Cheers

Even the good old SUN ( best source of heat n UVB) can n will cause blindness if looked at directly for pro-long period !! so we not sun ourselves or our pets ?

Sulcata interest u ? Do u know KK stickers ? He breeds sulcata n has some/many for sale ( heard from friends , not seen myself ) go ask !!

Cheers

Turtle ? How exotic you after ? First of all your budget , as you mention caramel RES thats pretty expensive !! Go local thats cheaps (But RES is still the cheapest in fish shop )

You mention turtle tank - those small tank with palm tree , bridge .........etc ??


Cheers

Normal bulb only good for providing heat . Thats it !!!

UVB "provide or give" Vitamin D3 if your animals has no access to pure sunlight .

Try Harvest I got mine from them !! You want bulb or tube they come in two type (same brand Exo Terra )

Cheers

Ya they have That "Harvest " fish shop is in KK and pretty big too !! If you dont know them I doubt you from KK !! Anyway if used often they need to be changed once a year or less , or you could get an UV meter from US or similar !!

Cheers

If they ran out of stock just re-order AS THESE are not common stuff ( they wont stock large quantity ) and any surplus they know where to off-load to LOL

I think they place these and other Exo Terra stuff towards the end of their shop ( or use to be) Have not being there in 2 years .

Cheers

Mating not always = eggs
Eggs not always = fertile eggs
Fertile eggs not always = hatchlings

But mating do mean one thing owner is doing somthing or everything right ( happy , healthy tortoise mate )
