QUOTE(danny94 @ Oct 9 2010, 11:14 AM) Kangkung oso not good.why don u buy some feeder fish to feed them instead? I didnt know that kangkung is not good for RES. For all these whiles I read here from version 1 till now, I got the impression that kangkung is ok for turtles while sawi will be for tortoise. Maybe I read/remember wrongly. Then, what greens can I offer as staple to RES? I would like to get them on greens more. Thank you. |

That's one fine setup. What's the dimension and cost for such setup?

I would like to get them on greens more. greens don't make good staples for res (and most aquatic turtles, that is). they need food with high protein and calcium contents, and for that commercial pellets serve as good staples.for greens, floating plants like P. stratiotes and E. crassipes (refer to first page) would do fine. however, if you need plants for shade or decorative purposes, you can refer to this list. http://www.tortoisetrust.org/articles/houseplants.htm i personally use lots of ferns in my enclosures. |

Thank you for all the praise.
Azazel, so far, I have spent approx. RM1400 which excludes metal works as dad has yet to give me the bill. RM1400 is only for the main components such as fiberglass tank, eheim 2217, hydor ario colour 2. Cami, thanks. Will research more before putting any live plants in the enclosure. BenSow, am I allowed to disclose names here? I found 2 traders. For retail, only standard sizes. Customised sizes allowed if big quantity. |

Tempting thought..... very very tempting but I think I better stick to my four for the time being. Or else I may end up have to upgrade their tank again in the very near future which I dont intend to.Added on October 14, 2010, 9:48 pm QUOTE(aspire2oo6 @ Oct 13 2010, 01:12 AM) Wow nice setup you have.

i gave away one of my RES two weeks ago.
the problem is it hasnt been eating. would it be because of the stress of new environment? i had to take it to college and my fren turtle-sat it while i was in class (2 aircond @ 20C). i tried to keep it as stable as i can while in the car/walking. the water level was low not covering the shell. before this i fed pellets and sawi . is there a way to get it to eat again? |

does it have proper basking light or any sources of heat? get some if you haven't.
and lugging it around is only helping in creating more stress to the turtle, mind you. plus, since (i assume) that it is still a hatchling, if the not-eating problem hadn't been rectified for 2 weeks already (from the time you gave it away), chances are it is a little too late by now...

Beach sand is free !! But many mesh size out there depending on where you get them and what your intention !! Filter sand are expensive and more abrasive I think !! |

Wow, great turtles you guys have!
 I own 4 cute loving little turts plus 1 small one. xD They're darn fun to watch and observe when they're in 'action'. This post has been edited by LZ Zach: Oct 22 2010, 07:31 PM |
