Hello bro

Good for you!

Like what leslie said, try to trick them. Another method is to starve them for like 2-3 days and offer the dried pellets to them. If they dont take it, try again later after feeding them with some vege.

Sad to say dai86, ive already retired from the hobby for now. No time for them as im gonna start to work. Maybe i'll start collecting them again in the future.

For now i need to focus on my work, having them now would make me a hell lot busy so its not a good option to keep them for the time being.

What turtle ? How long since u bought it ? Which pellet ? Feeding interval ?

Long term feeding them with those pellets might bring more harm than good to them but if its eating fine then it should be ok for now. Afterwards you can try and introduce kangkung as an alternate to the pellets(3-4 meals per week would do best) and feeding fish as a snack to them which to be given 1-2 time per week.

Got license to hunt elephant ka ?

For mousedeer and porcupine, hunting them would balance their numbers in the wild because there's a quota for each hunter on given time frame iinm. Which means only a few of them can be hunted and only on specific time allowed.

Its normal to give dead fish to the turtles to minimize their operating cost. Kangkong is a good choice for turtles bro, in fact the best so far that i know..

Kangkong grows almost everywhere bro, regardles of hydroponic or longkang.

Wow nice pic bro!

Wow nice, got a any pic to show us ?

That's a turtle.

I think its normal so dont worry, normally hatchlings will eat a lot and their appetite will decrease slowly to a stage that they will eat like 2-3 times per week depending on individuals.

Snap some pic and show us lah bro

Any pic to share with us ?

their body might be soft, you no need to polish it. Just use a powerful filter would do the job.

Yscagro and Mugenh22a, welcome to lyn.net TTT family!

That is caused by the sunlight, which promotes the growth of algae or some sort of them.

RES shell can be brushed yes, but not soft shell type carapace like ally snapper, mata2x and some others where the carapace are somewhat soft when they are small). Pls take note.

Dont worry, their appetite might slow down a bit. After all they are among the hardiest turtles ever known..

It is okay as long as ur snapper are eating. Just monitor the water quality, others i dont see causing the problem.

They have no problem with it actually, just that smaller specimen might have problem with the water condition.

It depends actually, ive seen a friend of mine keeping a few species together with one species having 2-3 members. If they fight just relocate them, and introduced back later.

temp around 32c and humidity around 60%

occasionally they will soak themselves but they will bask back under the basking lamp.

normal dont worry, ally snappers known to bask under the sun once in a while.

yeah, most probably.

how big is the turtle ?

Feed multivitamins, open the basking lamp and bask your st. Do bask them under the sun too, that would better compared to uvb bulbs.

how big is your st ?
