QUOTE(CreepyCrawly @ Jul 5 2011, 10:57 AM) Just wonder. wat kind of vege or grass can we grow to feed tort like radi n sulcata? Hey i feed my sick leopard with yao mak for few days and in between i mix with sawi and now it active liao so i stop giving yao mak coz it make my tort lao sai leh hmmm... QUOTE(CreepyCrawly @ Jul 5 2011, 10:57 AM) Another thing is, do we need to de-worm the tort like once a year? even there is no sign of worm? Wait until you can see the worm is super serious liao i think:)... when you de-worm only you can see the worm out from their stomach or the worm will stay inside... so i think better de-worm every 6 months... just my 2 cents:)... unless you have microscope at home can check their feces whether or not got parasites egg or worm in it that can't see with our bare eyes

QUOTE(CreepyCrawly @ Jul 5 2011, 04:19 PM) where can i find these seeds? actually i hav planted some bermuda grass( i guess it is) , but they seems not interested on it
For those weeds o grass on roadside, they all looks the same for me, not dare to feed it to the tort FYI, i'm planting opuntias now and i think is prickly pears. hope it will grow, if grow lot lot then pass you some lo  ... but the problem is dunno need to wait how long only can grow big  .. touch wood if cannot grow dunno can beg from the owner again or not

QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Jul 13 2011, 10:54 AM) I plant the " thornless " type n the few hair-fine thorn I don't bother to de-thorn before feeding ! Hmm those hair-fine won't hurt them or stuck in tort tongue or mouth since that part is soft tissue? because i find it irritating when it stick on my skin heee...

QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Jul 15 2011, 11:33 AM) So far so good no incident ! Or you can burn off the " hair" before feeding !! O u guys can feed the fruit as well taste like dragon fruit . burn off is a brilliant idea  ... at first i thought "korek" all out using small knife kakakaka... but my opuntia only have ONE pad for each plant because just try to grow them but one if it got flower... still long way to go until i can feed them this:)

QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Jul 22 2011, 02:46 PM) Alfafa hay are known for their Calcium and fiber !! Sprout if as snack I dont see any problem !!
Maybe those store bought sprout have additive (to prolong shelf-life ?? ) Hmmm then i will mix with their daily meal with alfalfa hay again:) as for the sprout they not really like it and i'm not sure still eatable or not coz forgot that i leave it in the fridge since last month  . Should throw it away later back home

QUOTE(caseyhoo @ Aug 19 2011, 06:05 PM) [size=1]
Both of them around 2inches size. Im not sure their sex...
Both of them are really healthy. After catch them and put them to the cage, they start walking here and there liao...
No legal doc provided... errmmm 2" is quite small and i heard is hard to take care...somemore no legal document just worry not able to get keeping license from wildlife. i got mine at RM1200 for a pair of 6" leos with legal document (as in they got legal import code) few months back... so RM800 for urs you may need to judge by urself whether or not you willing to pay this amount of money to get something you wish to own and rare to find (few months back really hard to find now not sure)...
