Just give your ST veges & pallets should be enough lah... For so long, i feed my ST with Sawi, Salad, Butternut Squash, Eggplant, Endive, Long Bean, Bendi, Kacang Buncis, Pumkin, Chicory Green, Watercress, Hibiscus flower & leaves

For Butternut Squash, Eggplant, Endive & Chicory Green, you can find it at TESCO while Watercress at PASAR... Sometimes TESCO also have too. Normally CHINESE people buy to make soup. If not mistaken, the Chinese named for Watercress is SAK YANG CHOY. Buy RM1 can get alots

Pumpkin is a good dewormer, i feed them once a month. About hibiscus flower and leaves they get to eat it when i go back to my hometown or i find any of those beside of the road

Alfafa hay is not recommended for them imho, try timothy hay.

whats the different between alfafa and timothy?

Not really my friend !!!

Depends on what you want out of them for your animals
- one has a higher protein , calcium content when compared to the other ie. Alfafa Hay

- the other has a higher fiber content but lower of the other 2 when compared ie Timothy Hay
Refer to above pic for more details

Added on March 14, 2008, 6:21 amTimothy can be kept short to be laid as lawn in people's house !!!

While Alfafa will grow very tall and deep rooted and only good to be harvested as fresh fodder for grazing animals or dried to become hay

But both are good source of fiber no doubt !!!!

Hi,

Im new here,been lurking around for quite awhile now.
Does anyone know whats the best food for spider tortoise?And is it safe to put it together with star tortoises?

Thanks.

Best not as Spider are very shy animals and stress easily especially if the Star are bigger than them !! Beside they require a higher humidity to do well ie.70 % and Star may get sick from that level of humidity !!

Food wise they like fruits better but do offer them green to varied the diet ( some insect once in a while will be good as they are forrest dweller after all ) Mushroom are also consumed !!!


My 2 sen anyway !!

Sam, the image u post can't be seen >.< thx for inputs =)

Image posted from the above link - Table 1

as i remember...TTT also need other source of vitamin that can be found on meat for example......
can anyone eloborate on that n what type of food that has that kind of vitamin we can feed them...example star tortoise.....
sumone in here said that they feed their TTT with dog biscuit to get that kind of vitamin....

Alrite the pic can be seen now..thx

Thanks for the info sam. I forgot what and why it is not recommended. Its not about the calcium or protein level but something else which i cant recall correctly. I will try to search around the article again and post it here.

Some people do give dog/cat biscuit to give the other vitamin trace but like 2 weeks once or monthly. This is because the biscuit contains high level of protein which is not good for ST especially.

To get the best vitamin and minerals we are advised to alternate the food and have more variety of vege to balance the pro and cons of each vege. Apart from that, do sprinkle some multivitamins on to their food to help give minerals and vitamins which cannot be taken from the vege.

One thing to take note, from my exp it is best to alternate the use of the calcium supplement and multivitamins from different make to balance out the minerals and vitamin intake.

My 0.05 cents
