Maybe the previous owner never feed them with pellets or they are using diffrent type of pallets. Some people & shops they feed RES with fish pellets. Your RES sound like having a highly stress problem. How long you bought the REST. I think let it there for a week & dont bother or disturb. let them cool down & use with the new environment.

Ic... I dont have RES. So im not sure Kangkong is the best for them. U feed Kangkong for the 2 Chinese Turttles that i gave you too ???
Then now i can buy alots of Kangkong & feed those RES in the pond at Bkt Jalil & other places
Those "kangkong parit" can give them too ???

I suggest you to use this Multivitamins ( BLUE ) & the Calsium ( Pink ) for you tortoise.

You failed on keeping RES & want to keep ST?
Dude, you sound like "Having A Small Head, But Wanting To Wear A Big Hat".....

Keeping ST need more intentions, proper caring & high mantainance. Dont just simply buy, please do a proper research first !!!
If not, later the ST will die on your hand

I think only 'SOHAI' who dont know take care of stars. I was kept ST for almost 10 years before. Dont face any major problem at all
But now i allready retired & gave away all the star to other people

Added on July 8, 2008, 10:19 pmBro, you can get the Heat Wave Bulb in at Natural Aquatic Subang. But its not Exo-Terra lah. Its JBL brand. The prices slightly expensive compare with Exo Terra. There are no more stock for Heat Wave Bulb for whole Malaysia even with hagen stock also finished.
In Penang, you guys can get the JBL Heat Wave Bulb at CTY Aquarium at Jln. Burma there.
Last 2 weeks, I saw in Pet Safari Taman Megah got sell Exo-Terra Heat Wave Bulb ( 40w ). They still have around 5 blubs.
Or you can try contact Chris Nonono to asked for the JBL Heat Wave Bulb

Good Luck

Maybe now your ST still can walk very fast because its still small size, so you can say Samperth is wrong, BUT, wait sooner & later after few more years when the ST growing big & bigger. If you didnt give them proper diet, enough UVB & basking, then that time you will know who is right & who is wrong lah !

Seriusly your ST dont looks 'healthy' to me.

Added on July 11, 2008, 8:05 amYou should know that TTT is an expensive pets. RM500 plus for a Cherryhead consider very2 cheap allready. The actual market price for Cherryheads are RM750 - RM850 each & will be higher due to the stock supply.

Cherryheads dont really need huge space. Can place them inside the plastic container like TOYOGO or etc.
Here i found a simple setup picture for Red Foot Cherryhead from the net.

I had them before. When they small time, i feed them with frozen blood worm, 'pasar prawns', meal worms, & Hikari Spirulina & GEX pallets.
Then when they become adult, i still continue feed them with the Hikari Spirulina & GEX to maintain the vitamins supply, 'pasar prawns', giant mealworms, karp fish or talapia babies ( those RM1 can get 20 )

I never feed my arowanas, turttles or my other fish before with Life Shrimp. Too risky becoz the sharp shrimp head's might kill them & also same with Longkang Fish which got alots of bacteria on them. We need to quarentine the Lonngkang Fish with the 'Japanese Yellow Powder' for few days before we feed them to our fish or turttles. But its not a guarentee to kill all the bacteria



P/S : If you wanna feed them with 'Pasar Prawn'. make sure you wash them with salt water, then wash again few times with normal water. Then cut the prawn into small pieces & keep in a container inside the frezer. When the time you wanna feed your pets, take prawn & rince with normal water for many time until the prawns really soft like normal. Then only feed to your pets.

Bigger Tank & GEX you can get at ALIVE AQUARIUM SHOP at Jalan Pasar, Pudu. The shop is opposite the Chinese Temple. There they GEX cost RM5 & still can nego.

Added on July 16, 2008, 2:37 amYou can try not to feed them in few days or maybe a week or a weeks plus. Then just to feed them with GEX or Hikari Spirulina. They sure eat !!! Then keep continue feed them with it for few times then slowly mix2 with fish or mealworms.

You can refer the 1st page which done by Uzairi. For more info, you can see the caresheet from the websites given there.

Cherryheads are easy to take compare to Sulcata & their price also diffrent too. Sulcata are selling around RM700 - RM1000 depends on their size & they are not that easy to maintain, same like Leopard tortoise too.
Cherryheads, radiated & few more are kinda suitable for our weather & culture. Please refer their caresheets which care given on the frontpage to compare
