Hi all,

Please help.

I recently discovered that my female star tortoise is pregnant as she has been digging religiously. Sadly enough the soil in my outdoor enclosure is too hard and damp for my tortoise's liking.

I have moved her into a indoor aquarium 2 ft x 2 ft and filled it with approx 1 ft. of soil (nursery soil + sand). However, she doesnt seem to be digging or trying to lay her eggs! I am afraid that this might be detrimental to her health. What should I do?

Congrats on v.4!

Cheers!

YA Malaysia where If in Sabah I know of a shop which has all 3 sp as of 2 wks ago !!

Hello, this question is directed to all aquatic turtle owners.

What fish do u all use as feeders? As far I know, the feeder baby goldfish commonly sold in fish shops all over the country is high in fats and contains high levels of thiaminase which destroys Vitamin B1.

If so, are there any other alternatives? All the LFS in my area sell only baby goldfish. Home-bred guppies maybe?

No matter what kind of feeder you using try wean them off live prey as soon as possible if you you will have headache when they grow larger !!

Glass shrimp in fish shop is also a good choice for prey/feeder - calcium also higher with those shell on !!

Lets not forget those crickets , superworm and mealworm ........etc Dont boxed yourself to just feeder fish !!

My turtle takes pellets with no problems but I just wanted to add a variety to his diet so I'm planning to give him a feeder fish twice a month perhaps but feeder goldfish seem to be terrible, judging from every article I've read.

I got him frozen bloodworms as well.

Ah, glass shrimps, good idea!

but me full time feeder fish wo..rm2=30ekor...so far 1 week rm12-rm15. will have probs wit my AST + Dry Leaf?

How big/old is she? And how do u know shes pregnant?

are u feeding those comet goldfish?

apparently, they're very bad for your turtles in the long run. high in fat amongst other stuff.

yah is Comet Goldfish

those people in the USA and such recommend feeding home bred guppies/mollies/platies.
