how old are they? & how do you know which sex they are. It is very hard to sex torts until they are older And fully developed.
As regards the calcium I scrape some cuttlefish on thier food every now and again. Plus i spinkle a very small amout of NUTROBOL on thier food daily this can be bought in the SW shop. Hope you enjoy your torts as much as I do. |

Hi, you can buy calcium powder from The SW shop. Its recommended that you just provide a small dish of it in your enclosure so that the torts can help themselves. I regularly see my lot helping themselves when they want it.

Males need to be about 5 inches and females 6 inches. Breeding season is in the spring and a second season in the fall.
