QUOTE(hwa107 @ Jan 28 2007, 08:35 PM) here's a quick answer for ur question Thanks alot, that helps 1. yes u need all living thing drink water 2. im not very sure on this, i heard some ppl said cord cob pallet got toxic or something but im not very sure on this, someone plz correct me on this thanks. however most of us use wood chip as bedding. 3. yes you are right, only greens  4. it's a good practice to soak them everyday, this is to allow them to release their poop and urate, which is crucial in preventing bladder stone. hope this give you some basic idea about ur question, hope other sifu will add something also, especially the 2nd answer.  About the drinking water, do I need anti-clorine for that ? And also whats the best way to soak them ? Like how deep the water should be and the temperature. I read somewhere that 40c is ideal  http://www.cngui.com/Article/Special/yinxing/Index.html Also found this useful site, but in Chinese  |

QUOTE(dai86 @ May 4 2007, 10:52 AM) deviLs, have to take good care him/her. if not later will follow mine's path.. huh... Thank God today my little star showed great improvement, it can now moves and regain its appetite. previously it was so reluctant to move/eat/open its eyes, guess it had a flu...and I had to hand-feed it to make it eat Added on May 4, 2007, 10:53 ami wonder, is there any turtle tortoise farm in malaysia??
