bio filtration, chemical filtration through power filter, canister filter, etc. that sucks all the excrement in and pumps clean water out..  err ring a bell?

I just feed my star tortoise kangkung, coz they seem to like kangkung more than other veges. Is it alright to feed them kangkung only? unsure.gif

I gave them the long bean, but seems hard to bite for them eventhough i cut them into very small pieces~

As for Sawi, they dont like to eat, put whole day thr, but they cant finish.

Petshop of course lah.... they do not know anything and long beans can simpan longer than sawi. That is why they feed long beans. Petshops, majority of petshops got no knowledge on tortoise keeping and also diet.

Hibiscus is Bunga Raya lah.... dun tell me dekat your rumah tak da?

I dont think so the long bean can keep longer ...

Of coz i know Hibiscus is bunga raya doh.gif

Near my house really dont have, dont tell me it is the national flower so tht every where must have wink.gif

Eventhough i find it, i cant just simply pluck ppl's plant right?! rolleyes.gif

Since u r so knowledgable, y not u suggest some other veges which i can get them in the market?

It can keep longer and it is also easier to buy. Leafy veggie like Sawi, if you keep it open with nothing to cool it or damp it sure layu already. Long beans are dry, also easy to buy and keep without a fridge. it can last a few days longer than sawi if you do not cut it.

Actually, just pluck lah. I ask people if I can take some leaves, people's plants summore and they let. I even go cut people's opuntia cactus....

There is already a list of veggies for stars... it is up to you to research. Already mention sawi and there are many kinds of sawi. Romaine lettuce, Sweet Potato leaves, collard greens if you can find this, endives.... but the best is giving them sawi, hibiscus flower and leaves and also opuntia cactus. Kangkung once a while is ok, but not everyday.
They are land tortoises, rarely they find water holes to soak in if they are in their natural habitat. They do not enjoy high humidity as well. If you fear it doesn't drink enough water, then you soak your star yourself. I normally place my star in a bowl that has an inch of water since my star is big. If he wants to defecate, he would do so.... if he wants to drink, he would do so. The whole time he drinks and defecate, I would be watching so I know when he is done, I just take him out, wipe him dry and put him back in his enclosure.

Well, perhaps I should spent half of my day going through the thread and read every single page, rather than asking a particular question (yes, even though it's repetitive) that could be answered by anyone here within a speed of light.

If this annoys anyone to answer a question that could have been repeated, then kindly ignore my post. I'd rather use more of the Search function or Google than to ask questions here then. smile.gif

Anyways, thanks for the information in the first place. I do appreciate that. No offense to anyone.
