Thanks everyone for sharing. Mine loves these calci worms, no doubt. I've never seen her moved so fast to get at one (or two). But since I have only one RF, combined with the low frequency of feeding these, I'm not sure how economical this would be in the long run. It's not even a week and these...
Hello,
Just manage to a get me some calci worms after some time looking for them in online store, and finding out they're called maggot BSF around here lol
My questions are, how often can you feed these to RF? Mine is just over a year old. Also, since they're said to have very high amount of...
Great, one more factor to consider lol. Thanks for the info, though I think there's no way I can be sure these aren't grown as fish bait and thus containing those harmful substances. Actually they describe it as suitable for both fish food AND fishing bait
Any other alternative live food for...
I'm having trouble identifying the worms sold by my local seller (they use local names and I don't know what they're called in English or Latin). But some sellers do claim that they sell ANC, which I would think is the African Night Crawler. Is this safe to feed to my RF?
Unfortunately they won't ship or be exorbitantly expensive to ship to my country Indonesia. FWIW, I'm using this as cypress mulch on top of the coco coir
I'm afraid the temperature will be too high if I use CHE since it's at 30-31C already. But for curiosity sake, I tried installing a CEH. The temp rose as expected, up to 35C directly below the CEH, but I saw no increase in humidity. Yeah I think it not being a closed enclosure is the main issue...
Looks very nice and clean. And dry :) . Is that all orchid bark?
I've changed my substrate last night to all coco coir (I moisted it first before laying on the enclosure, about 8 cm deep) and then put cypress mulch over the top. It nicely maintained humidity at 85%-90% overnight (usually I...
Wow, I haven't read all of this, I just want to reply first that I really appreciate the welcome and the amazing write up, this should be available in pdf or something. Now I will go read them and maybe comeback later with more questions 😁
Nice idea, but I kinda bad with tools lol. But isn't it the same if we just put the water saucer on the substrate? Is this to prevent the tort from stomping over it or drinking from it?
Looks great. What plant are those? Did you grow them from seed? I haven't had much luck with live plants unfortunately. The best I've done is with the spider plant. My dandelion on the other hand, looks as if it's growing leaf as fast it drops them lol
Sadly the only orchid bark I can find here is of the pine bark type, which I believe is not good for tortoise. I don't know why some packaging of these even include photo and description that it's good for reptile
Thx for the reply. I forgot to mention that I have sphagnum moss also in there, and I just learned from this site that it's a no no. Kinda crazy since it's recommended in many sites/videos during my early research into RF.
So, I need to redo the substrate anyway because of this. I'll put coco...
Hello All. I've just received my first red foot. He/She is around 11cm in length, around 1 year old according to the seller. I'm keeping it outdoor
I have question regarding substrate. I live in a tropical country and the temp is around 27-32 C. As I understand, this is perfect for RF. My...
