I literally tried the mixing of hibiscus leaves and flower with the cucumber cause my tortoise loves cucumbers, and it worked, she ate it ALL. So now I'm gonna continue it for a few days and then won't give cucumber at all, will give it only once a week and that too mixed with other leaves. Thank you so much for this, it warmed my heart when I saw her eating all that.
Thanks for good info.i tried many times to feed my pet hibiscus leaves and flowers,Marigold flowers.He starved for nearly 4 to 5 days as due to lockdown and corona we could not bring his favourite veg.Now i will try ur tricks.Thanks.
Great video!!! I am always shocked when people are overfeeding their pet tortoises with juicy store bought vegetables and even worst sweet fruits and too much process tortoise pellets!! Then their poor animal gets deformed shell and overgrown nails, beaks etc. I wish more people can see your video!!!
If tortoise is eating only lady fingure vegitable and few of fruits like papaya , pineapple. sometimes cucumber . not eating any grass and hibiscus leaves . i'll try you suggested trick..thanks .
GREAT VEDIO....one more question to u... tortoise apne joh vedio main dikhaya hai uske aas pass bahut thi ANTS ( cheetiyan) hai.... kya ants se usko koi nuksaan nahi hoga .. bcoz many people told me to make the tortoise safe by keeping away from ants
Not only ants but many insects coexist with tortoises naturally. If tortoise walks over ant nest then ants would definitely bite the tortoise but normally they’re safe.
I have brought a pair of star tortoise 3 days ago , first I used to feed them coriander leaves and tomatoes but as I gained some knowledge about their diet by seeing you're vedios and knowing tomatoes should not be in their diet I stopped feeding them , and started feeding them hibiscus leaves and flowers but they are not even taking a single bite of it so is it OK if i mix coriander leaves and hibiscus leaves and then try to feed them ? Also are coriander leaves suitable for their diet? ( please do reply!)
Well, as you have already bought them you can mix coriander with hibiscus leaves and flowers to develop taste then gradually change ratio. Also add at least mulberry leaves, bermuda grass, alfalfa greens or hay in diet.
hi sir, please reply!! i keep my star tortoise is an enclosure and its big enough and i also researched about enclosure size for this particular breed but it keeps wanting to get out, can you please help me? i cant keep her in the enclosure because she keeps digging against the wall of it and i feel really bad..
Make sure the walls of the enclosure are not transparent. Also keep the wall height well enough, like 1.5-2 feet. It’ll prevent the tortoise from always trying to move out.
Hatchlings and juveniles need leaves of same size of their size. Adults can eat 8-10 mulberry leaves or 15-20 hibiscus leaves. There isn’t a rule of thumb for quantity, just don’t over feed the tortoise. They grow slowly so don’t try to grow them too quickly.
Sir i found a star tortoise in our backyard its been three days i found it and not eating anything i tried feeding hibiscus flower and leaves,leafy vegetables but its not at opening the mouth Is there any issue with my tortoise or its a basic thing that it should habituate to environment and then will eat ?? Or generally star tortoise doesn't eat very often? Im soo confused sir please help me 🙏
If it is doing well since long and you’re not planning to release it in wild, you can continue with this diet and gradually add leaves, grasses and flowers in the diet. 15-20% of natural diet would also be good.
Sir i have a 18month star tortoise , he inly eats lady finger no other leafs or food , i tried everything to change diet but he wont eats anything , even after staying hungry for 3 days , after 3 days also he stoped eating everything not even lady finger , plz help otherwise it will die plz
My tortoise only wants food that moves example worms, I’m going to try not giving him worms and only greens and see what he does but I feel like it won’t work
Sir my tortoise is 2 months old it only eats ladyfinger I tried mixing leaves he doesnt eat it Can i let him without food for 2 days? Also can you plsease tell how to identify gender
My star tortoise enclosure is small so i decided to buy some soil and put it on my terrace and realising my tortoise on soil for same hours and when i release he eat stones is it harmful hor him
Tortoises might take some time to get comfortable in new place, if it is a captive raised tortoise then try feeding the same diet it was given earlier.
Return it back from where you got it. I’m repeatedly telling everyone not to get more tortoises in captivity but no one is getting the point. Sometimes I feel like I’m doing wrong by providing such information to public.
@@IndianStarTortoise yes i consulted with the vet but they are like we will give one injection it will recover soon and taking too much for one injection he told for one injection it will cost you 5000 with every treatment n injection im middle class bro please tell me some treatment that i can do it my self at home please

@@IndianStarTortoise sir, mine tortoise shell has pyramids and he is with me from 9 yrs., is it possible for him to live with other tortoises like in your Conservation as for his better life which is not possible for me to give. Pls suggest 🙏
Your concern is right but I’m not keeping any star tortoises now due to wildlife department restrictions. Mild pyramiding is normal in captive raised tortoises and no need to worry unless it is severe and causing problems to the tortoise.
@@IndianStarTortoise mine has not normal pyramiding but has spikes like shell and that's not normal, will it heal likewise with time if diet is changed fully or it will remain as it is lifetime. What veggies are best for him in fiber rich foods.
Pyramiding once done cannot be reversed and it’ll stay like that but if your tortoise is moving around normally and eating well no need to worry about pyramiding.

Seems like your tort diet has ants too lol
Sir how much leaves a tortoise require on 1 day
Hatchlings and juveniles need leaves of same size of their size.
Adults can eat 8-10 mulberry leaves or 15-20 hibiscus leaves.
There isn’t a rule of thumb for quantity, just don’t over feed the tortoise.
They grow slowly so don’t try to grow them too quickly.
@@IndianStarTortoise thanks sir

Or generally star tortoise doesn't eat very often?
Im soo confused sir please help me 🙏
Better to release it back if you found it out of nowhere.
But my tortoise is alive and healthy by eating vegetables from last 12 years .. isn't it ok ? ..or should I too change his diet
If it is doing well since long and you’re not planning to release it in wild, you can continue with this diet and gradually add leaves, grasses and flowers in the diet. 15-20% of natural diet would also be good.

Is it harmful to give cucumber to the star tortoise 🐢 🤔
It's not good for daily feed u can give in moderation
daily feed will make them malnourished and sensitive to disease due to lack of vitamins , calcium.
