MONTHLY UPDATE : STORY OF SIZE [ 4K and Sunshine]

avatar

Hello #PETLOVERS , Today I want to share you a crucial story of keeping a Tortoise. How to manage the nutrition and how to deal with the over-nutrition problem also the side effects and the example. I share this to you as my token of love to you guys and also I feel like this is my duty to keep uou informed about the Nutrition especially for those who keep EXOSKELETON animal. I know I dont have any of legitimate paper to prove my point in scientific side, but at least my experience comes with solid evidence. So this I guess one going to be usefull as it is.

Ok I guess this one matters a lot in order to keep them not only healthy but propherly grow. These two are exact and perfect comparation to give you a propher picture about Nutrition. AGAIN Im not a nutritionist guys but I do believe this going to help you a lot in order to keep them SAFE. This discussion is mainly about daily food, how it affect the grow, and my personal opinion about the habit of the Tortoise itself.

Im going to start with 4K first, I guess its crystal clear you can see by yourself he growing fast, within a month and half he grow so fast. You may ask me HOW or WOW or WHY. Yes, it was 100% nutrition, so many Tortoise product out there who believe Tortoise need and extra vitamin outside of his NATURAL FOOD or Vegetables are half-side wrong.. why ??? because the fact he can't even find a market-vegetables in his natural habitat , so we have to understand that already-too-good food has already add an extra nutrition comparing to the food he going to find in his natural habitat. Therefor I don't think we have to add extra vitamin products more to keep him healthy.

Fisrt of all, you have to know even pellets adding your Tortoise with Vitamins. Second of all, you have to know the speed of his growing abilty doesn't always have to be healthy indicator.

This is Sunshine, where were we ??? oh ya healthy nutrition and grow.

Here is my data, Nutrition affect growing ability but as soon as age getting older they going to grow way more slow. AGE MATTER, by saying that I want you to know Sunshine eats a lot of food compared to 4k, yes also gender matters too especially when you still haven't figure it out wether its male or female, but the conduct of proportion of Nutrition will affect the majority of the size.

THEN WHY IS IT MATTER IF HE GOING BIGGER FASTER THAN IT SUPPOSE TO BE. Listen to me stonewall😂. The carapace going to mushy kushy and it suppose to be solid, the hardest part of Tortoise suppose to be the carapace ok. SINCE WHEN you asked, hmmm... since before Jesus arrives in this earth MI AMORR !!! .

Here... the length almost the same, but the height still cannot be comparation. Im not going to say it going to be a huge problem, what I want to say is it will affect another "malfunction" system. From what I experienced, the body part "exoskeleton" going to grow fast, but the head and the leg cannot catch up that fast, it going to look weird when the size of the head over-small or something. From some article I read this also going to affect the digestion system, so I want you to know this going to be Red FLag for all tortoise keeper.

The problem of these Tortoise Product is they going to push the market through the sale and make it look like its a capital needs for your Tortoise. Im not going to say don't give them pellets, I myself give them once awhile like 3 times a week but never consider as daily food no more, especially if your Tortoise produce "Urates"or white poop. I did a mistake with 4K for taking care of him too "soft" , right now he rarly eat a vegetables anymore he preffer pellets all the time. Thats my mistakes. No he dont have mushy carapace or soft carapace, but grow too fast.

And this is other mistakes for some Tortoise keeper too. This might little bit out of Topic but please keep this in mind. The habitat are so so so matters guys. You can do it royal rumble, one of these from a dessert hbitat, one of these from dry forest habitat, and one of it form high humid forest habitat. They all have different food and behaviour.

Ok in some point they might act the same, and also good design for you terarrium, but this is wrong. So guys please , this will affect all.

For example, these two from the same species and same genus , but they have a different needs, and behaviour, 4K like hotter place, and Sunshine like more humid place, and also non of them have a same apetite , Sunshine really love Hibiscus and 4k dying for pellets.

Lets get back to the topic, Have you ever heard PYRAMIDING ??? look up for it, not only food, but uvb-uva also enclosure will affect this sickness. So I want you to be very carefull about this. So you have to keep those 3 rule in mind.

This lower body will become the solid mesurement for you to count it monthly like me. Soon as he growing the color or these pattern will spread, thats the unique of this Geochelone Elegans. Im not going to lie if I was a fashion designer this going to be my inspiration, I mean imagine u use a jacket with this kind of pattern and color, its going to be look as expensive as gucci, actually.. I hope Gucci make the kind of jacket like this.

Here, some example with the bigger Indian Star. Beside as a good mesurement this also the main indicator to tell wether its male or female. Also if you keep the Tortoise in "Natural-Substrate" you have to pay extra attention with this one, bacteria and maggot often spread from the below of your Tortoise.

Here my daily result and routine of my Lovely 4k to keep the Tortoise propher UVB. you wanna know how ???? its a super secrett... OFFCOURSE BY PUTTING THEM UNDER THE SUN, where you from anyway ??? planet of dust ??? . Joking guyss. But yeah he still on the healthy line for now, He still poop and urates regularly, I dont think I do it over the line even though I know it was my fault.

Look at that bold line over there, how beautifull is that. Remember guys these animals are always beautiful as it always been. Dont believe what market says about the pattern affect the price, I dont know how it goes with that one anyway. I mean you definetely dont believe unconditional love towards animal somehow.

The results of this article is the more you know what good to your Tortoise the more your Tortoise stay healthy , by saying that I want you to know this fabric manufacture of food Tortoise doesn't need to be priority in any how. So keep natural as it can be and you can see the result eventually, with or without a supplement. Yes it takes time but at the very least thats the art of keep a tortoise. So guys, be natural and be smart about this.

Thanks for your time, I hope this worthed
