Hehe...Daisy is my Golden Retriever, "Tao Tao" is my star tortoise, I didn't give names to my other turtles..... Wow, Mango is so cute, so nice that she loves to be stroked....My star doesn't let us touch her body, she will hide inside, coz she is not used to that, I don't really play with her, I just see her eating & walking only Interesting...where to buy the woodchips, do you mean woodchips for reptiles? Last time mine didn't work well maybe bcoz the soil I used was not organic and not dry! Where is Tmn Bahagia, are those Star babies? Stars that are sold around my neighbourhood cost about RM100-120 for one baby star, not worth paying that much! My Star was supposed to be perfect last time, until last 2 weeks. It was Saturday afternoon, she had an accident, somehow her shell was cracked with an opening of about 1cm in width & 6cm in length, can see her body from the opening...I don't know why it happened, I let her out for walks in the garden, I realised this when I wanted to put her back an hour later. We thought maybe Daisy bit it but couldn't see the bite marks, then we thought could be the autogate but we have blocked the hole to the back of the autogate already, I wonder how it happened. I called my vet, he said he needed a special glue but he doesn't have that. Then I tried the other vet, he said he has no experience, he suggested me to see the manager of the reptile store in IKANO. So I went there, the manager said he had no choice but had to force to glue it back, luckily the internal parts are not hurt, she can still walk at that time, looked like she didn't feel anything....My husband went to the Ace Hardware shop to buy a superglue (one that suitable for microwave use), then the man squeezed the shell and closed it back with the glue, got blood came out when he did that.... He let it dry then put the glue one more time, he repeated this for 3 times, we waited for nearly 2 hours, then everything ok, I really thanked him for saving Tao Tao, he didn't even charge us a sen....Now Tao Tao is eating & acting like normal, but her shell may not look so nice later as she grows, I'm just glad that she is ok!
