Indian star tortoise in karnataka named lucky and chikky

[Lucky n chikky the stars]

Hi im chikky...
I am very active and I roam everywhere.
I like cucumber very much.
I weigh 1450 grams.
I was rescued from poachers when I was very young and I have been taken care since 2014.





Hi,
I'm lucky.
Im elder than chikky
My weight is 1,850 grams.
Im named lucky because My caretaker found me at the right time on an highway road.
He found me and he's lucky from than
I am in his home since 2012.
I dont move a lot as chikky but I exercise in the morning time and evening, rather than that i stay sleeping or sitting idle and watching the nature.




See some of our gallery and suggest our caretaker to improve in taking care of us by your help

Bye.
Lucky and Chikky.

They look good overall. But you need to give them a natural habitat. Since you are based out of Karnataka, India; climate problem is solved.

What you need to ensure are:
* Give them a soil based base too. Make sure you have a secured area where you have a mud based ground. Be sure to have it secure.
* Importantly, ensure that they have a hiding space. They want to remain relaxed and for that they need a hiding space
* More importantly, ensure that they have a basking area with good sunlight.
* Also provide them with accessible water. Easiest would be to put a tray with water. Make sure it is not deep that they get submerged.

Remember, these are land dwelling animals. Many confuse Star Tortoise with Indian Flapshell Turtles.
