so jus feeding it kiwi/apple/banana etc is a good enough diet? maybe lettuce here n there...
All thouse fruits should be only ocasinal treats. I will say it again
Dont ask me were I get the pacience do do this
Your turtle Needs: high calcium and fiber leafy vegetables wich excludes both letuce and spinach(consult my reply to Miguel for a good list of greens) and high calcium and fiber fruits like mango and papaya to make at least 50% of its diet now if its supossed to grow healty(this percentage of food will increase to 70% once she is adult, remenbar this turts in the wild are mainly herbivors, give preference to veggis and only give fruit more ocasionaly
)
Also as sorce of protein and as a staple you can use a good quality pellet like Mazuri turtle and tortoise food, pleco pellets, hikari, reptomin ,etc along side other meaty fare
anyway miguel do u use a UV light for your Fly river?? i was thinking of buying a reptisun 5.0 bulb and putting it in my aquarium light. that'll work right?
That will work just fine
Make shure there is no glass or plastic in the midle and replace every 7moths or so. The need for turts of uv ligth is a controversial one. Thosands of healty turts have been raised without uv but its without a doubt a really beneficial thing you do for your turle. Do it at least untill she is bigger.
or...buying one of those UV light that you put upside down on...like those for tortosie n whatnot.. if i place one of that on top of an acrylic tank will it burn the acrylic?
Dont know that
but dont buy compact ligths or 10.0ligths, to strong
