Ok, these are a few weeds / plants I have. I want to make sure they are OK. So if you could let me know if they are, or if it's a different name etc, please let me know. A lot of questions I know, but I want to make sure.
All pictures are not the clearest but i think they should be enough.
Red or Crimson clover, is there a difference? Pic of the flower.
Pic of the leaves. They are not heart shaped, but football shaped.
Yellow clover. Note the smaller petals, it doesn't look like Oxalis, but I want to be sure.
And leaves, again football shaped.
I want to say this is Chicory, is this correct?
Ok and no more picures, but a few more questions.
I found another Spring Mix. It has a few things I'm not sure about.
It lists Arugula (which from what Danny said can cause issues if fed a lot), Green Chard and Mache. Are these ok, of course within a varied diet?
I have noticed, that no matter how many times I clean his water, it gets dirty the very first time he steps in it. Is there anything I can do to make it not get dirty so fast? TerryO suggested either Moss or flat rocks around it. But I am not sure it'd work. The substrate seems to stick to him. The substrate isn't wet, just moist and I make sure to ring it out if there's extra water.
I've also noticed, he likes to put one leg on the side of the enclosure and he came close to flipping himself. I thought ok, maybe he needs a sight barrier. So I put black construction paper all around the sides of it so he can't see out and he still does it. This worries me. He was probably standing maybe like 45 degrees sideways. Like if his shell was the degree line, it'd be like 45 degrees, hope that makes sense. Any suggestions?
His poop. The first 3 times he pooped it wasn't runny, but it was moist, which I think is good. The next few times he pooped it was a little more runny, but not much. Mainly because he was in the water doing it. It looked more like a cow patty this time, but not even quite as gooey. Does this mean he needs more fiber? I chop up Hay for him to have each feeding, and it's always there for bedding too.
I also have Mazuri, and I moistened a piece today. He did take a few bites out of it, but may have been fully already from the greens. When I feed Mazuri, should it be the only thing I offer? He ate maybe 1/10 of the pellet.
