Added on March 2, 2012, 5:36 amTortoise eggs can't be moved/rotated after day 1 !! So you are stuccoed with them - try bury them under 6 inch of sand and try "cook" them to hatch !! Cheers QUOTE Thanks i will try it out. Use a bigger container - keep sand moist but not too wet - keep surface temp. At about 30oC

QUOTE(Dagashi @ Mar 5 2012, 01:29 PM) Chomping on Mazzuri! finally, i dont have to walk around my neighbourhood hunting for leaves suitable for them [attachmentid=2720707] QUOTE(http://www.mazuri.com/PDF/5m21-5e06.pdf) Feeding Directions
Feed approximately 2-4% of body weight. It is not necessary to add water. Feed consumption will vary with temperature. Feed with good quality grass hay. Fresh fruits and vegetables (less than 20% by weight of total diet) may also be provided if desired. Do remember to add more fiber into diet as Mazuri not 100 % complete !!

QUOTE(looseand @ Mar 24 2012, 01:25 PM) Dear members,   What could be the cost of my soft shell turtle death. One died yesterday, and another one today morning. - The baby fishes are doing fine ( Long Kang fish ) - Shrimp are doing fine - The water is still crystal clear - Good filteration system - Location - Outdoor The " white fungus " on the turtle cost its death !! Being raining heavily lately ? |

QUOTE(looseand @ Mar 24 2012, 03:53 PM) It didn't have the "white fungus" yesterday. What causes the white fungus ? As for raining, not really much. Thus, how do I proceed in curing the others ? Soft-shell don't respond well to most treatment especially one this size !! |

Most of my pets are unlicensed so I am illegal to breed or offer to sell !!
But yes I do breed other sp ( mostly reptilian-but specialized in chelonian ) beside this stripe-necked !!
------------------
Btw I am in Sabah so if you prepared to come over to buy and pick up ( I don't send inter-state or international ) I can't sell you
cheers
