Hi. Thanks for taking the time to reply . I checked there but these weren't listed . Later , I entered only the genus name and it came out to be inedible . So I think I would rather just stay away from them . Thanks , though .
Hi . I keep coming back with more questions . Does anyone know if ficus religiosa and ficus benghalensis are edible for tortoises . These are native plants in India. Thanks for the help .
This is so true . Thankfully I finally have all of the things that u mentioned . Mine has an amazing personality . She is curious as hell and I just love her . Thanks to u guys at tfo , she is happy in her new home .
Yes , I understand . How about on the high side of temprature range ? Tempratures in kutch reach 45 degree Celsius in peak summers . can stars survive these temps ? Thanks for the help.
Hii sorry if it's too late to answer . I just came across your post . What I know hibiscus is great but tomatoes and money plant is an absolute know . Going by your name u r probably indian , so try getting shahtoot or mulberry leaves , grape leaves (not the fruits of either ) and opuntia cactus...
Hello . ?? Do you mean to say its found all over india ? .India has 28 states and 9 union territories with widely varying environmental conditions. So I thought that it might be found in specific states of India.
Hi . Can anyone please tell me which states in india does a star belong to . I could not find this information anywhere and I believe knowing that will help us to take better care of our torts.Thanks.
@Tom Yes I am feeding her mulberry leaves and will soon get opuntia as well . Also chuna is infact calcium carbonate , so I guess it's fine. I think I can find people who raise chickens as well.All in all the problem is solved ,?
but I just saw I forgot to post her pic , sorry about that ...
No no , it's not brought in soil . It was when she was out In the garden , and I know it was limestone powder because I had put it there myself . And yes I did live in Ohio but now I am back to india with my parents . This is causing a lot of confusion . Yvonne did try to help me with changing...
Okay sure . I will check out the shops tomorrow morning and then ask you because I have absolutely no clue of what I might or might not get here . Online delivery is closed right now as well . Its night here right now so I will get back to you tomorrow . Thanks a lot .
Hi I have noticed my star tortoise trying to find white things in the soil since she had a taste of a bit of limestone powder scattered there a few days back . I am unable to find cuttlebone at the moment . I am a new tortoise owner living in india . I do feel like she has a calcium deficiency...
Really sorry for your little friend . Hope he gets well soon .As a new owner, I had no clue rats could be this dangerous . I will definitely be a lot more careful from now on.
