hi

We are waiting for there new in door home .hopefully friday & then are gonna work on a large out door one..which i`m excited about.
Thay seem happy at moment sleeping eatin sleeping eating climbing lol
I think we have 2 girls nice size beautiful markings friendly and a wee itsy teenie baby male although i could be wrong lol
the tiny one gets walked on and climbed on but doesn`t bother ack i think he gets bullied lol he`s so cute but his markings arn`t as dark as the other two..not sure if its his age or i`m hoping he`s healthy..
I have them in a wee plastic tank thing with heat mat just for a few days til the 3ft other one is delivered with all the lights and stuff thats needed as recommended in the reptile shop.
I wanna try do my best for them oh sorry forgot 1 girl Tia 1 shelly (temp name) ack wee one has no name as yet...feeding them veg,grass some herbs .tortoise pellets which they don`t seem interested in..they had wee bath today & loved it..
I am looking advice on everything & anything to help these wee babies
has anyone any ideas for cleaning there shells ..there bit grumpy

There eating ok sometimes there po is white or dark & sticky don`t know whats normal..should i take them to vet ?? i`m worried i`l lose them cause i`ve no certificates for them..I just want do right by them thanks xnicola

what kind of enclosure have you orderd may i ask,you have to be real carefull with tunisians as they are realy delicate to handle and often get respitary infections if the slightest thing stresses them out,the temperatures are a big factor also they have to be spot on as they can get RI were did u get them from? you mentioned a reptile shop in ur post,did u get them from there,YOU NEED CERTIFICATES to BREED ,if you got them from a shop they should havegave u certs for them i would go back and complain,as you have varied the females to the male you still may need seperate enclosure for the male when he gets bugger as he ay bully the girls when he becomes sexual mature,
tank is fine for now untill you get a table sorted for them,i wouldnt use the heat mat tho i would get clip on lights and use a normal spotlight bulb.
what veg are you feeding? as this is not allways ideal.a little carrot is fine grated into their food its a gr8 wormer also,pellets i personally dont like them,i tried with my hermans and they wouldnt eat them,i feed alteast 70%weeds and 30% florette lettuce mix from supermarket if i cant top the other 30% with weeds.
u should use a calcium supliment like lime stoneflour or nutrabal or calypso cricket dust this is goos also
another idea get some cuttle fish the stuff u give budgies and put it in their enclosure they will get calcium from this also

hi
i never realised i`d a reply thought ppl where ignorin me..well we took advice from pet shop..spent lot oney & bought a wood wit glass front not enough air!!! we learn by mistakes ..i`m not that smart but i can tell we have took top off put wire mesh over for now..some one had the 3 babies & should seen what they where livin in so i made a wee offer & got them.i am tryin different foods got calcium stuff ..doing lot googling to try do things right...there growin, eating, very active & so nosey lol
Got the lamp 60watt bulb i did question why not 100 watt but he seemed know what he was talkin bout at the time they like med salad stuff & lots grass,garden greens..I am planning taking them to vet but some one says cause i`ve no documents i might get them took off me !! breeding isn`t important to me think 3`s enough lol I just want to look after them well & keep them safe & healthy.can`t even guess age but think there very young....

I dont know anything about Tunisians im afraid but one thing has stood out from your post. If you dont want to breed them later on then you will have to keep the male seperate....although this is along way off if they are only babies.

They sound lovely...congrats and welcome to RFUK.
