  3. Hey Donna Had a turtle handed in today owner found on the beach and kept for a year. It has such horrid shell rot mainly all over its plastron. What do you like using? i have used iodine and debrisol before. She is happy enough and eating. Top shell is good but very green must send you a photo. Its just groce the plastron like cottage cheese and reeky under the scabby areas. Dry docking her now she is a real escape artist thanks sarah
  4. F15GUY do you have a website? cool so you own a shop? is it a petshop? sarah
  5. they can travel very far distances even live in estuarys, dams etc. It probably was buried over winter with hibernation and now out in about. As long as its well and eating it needs to be placed in water to eat. Examine it for any cuts etc or swollen eyes. I have had a couple found wandering over the past week from various people that has been handed in good luck late me know if you need any help sarah
  6. Hey Just letting you know i havent had any emails etc from you try [email protected] or [email protected] thanks sarah
  7. took around 3 months to recover and felt odd with tight pain under my left breast. Still get the pain and have some numbness where they cut me. I had a mycobacterium avium intracellular cavity bug in it so had to get the top half removed sarah
  8. well done mccrud looking great ! its hard work, i have put on 10kgs over the past few months on certain meds and had half a lung removed. It is hard shifting it as i have always been slim good work to the weight loss sarah
  9. Hey Have had a couple lately been found same area one tiny both have swollen eyes shut. $80-$100 later at the vets per turtle for its antibiotic shots, iv fluids and vitamin injections hopefully the tiny one comes right. Still hasnt opened its eyes. Poor things alot of turtles go missing this time of year coming out of hibernation or travelling from ponds to lay eggs etc getting disorientated. Its quite sad i had alot of found turtles last years and you can put them on found on trademe/pets on the net and lodge the found turtle with the spca. Some can be missing for years There are at least 3 turtle rescues in auckland and lovely Donna in chch that i know of and another just started up in Rotorua. Sadly not alot of vets know about turtles so you have to find a good specialised one sarah
  10. yes its sarah me and my daughters emma and lara
  11. Try North Shore Turtle Rescue! I have taken in a few recently found wandering etc i am on the north shore in forrest hill and have heated indoor ponds/tanks and outdoor cold water ponds sarah 021105508
  12. i have had hatchings before and all started off red and stayed red. Can anyone email me [email protected] if they know of a brown leaf breeder or breeders thanks. Just loved them when i saw them many yonks ago now thanks sarah
  13. Hi All Has anyone ever had a red ear baby hatch with a yellow neck instead of red? seen photos of a friends that is yellow(almost light orange) and its about a year old also does anyone breed the brown leaf turtles anymore? use to see them years ago at a north shore petshop thanks sarah
  14. thanks the one i got from Greg you cannot buy over the counter? will try and find this Sikasil RTV that you suggest cheers
  15. i am after some safe silicone too i was told to use bostik v60 but i cannot find it anywhere to buy? has anyone else had experience with aquarium safe silicone/s? i am wanting it for my turtle tanks thanks sarah
  16. Its a hozelock bioforce uv filter and titan pump. Keeps the water moving when its on sarah
  17. Yeah thats what i thought. I changed the bulb 3 months ago. Pretty sure i have the right filter its a hozelock bioforce UV. I brought news sponges and uv bulb for it 3 months ago. A friend of mine says a uv light wont kill algae just the spores. I brought the filter as i was told by a few people that the uv light helps to keep the water clean and that it kills algae thanks sarah
  18. i have barley straw on the bottom now and it hasnt prevented algae growth sarah
  19. What can i use thanks? i have a good filter with uv light inside (steriliser). Was just wondering what i can use if anything to get rid of the green? In summertime i could probably empty it weekly (i was last year) but feel this is a bit much sarah
  20. i am keen i have sent you an email sarah
  21. Hi Trying to get a pond ready for summer and have red worms in them tiny? how do i get rid of them without killing my ponds and goldfish? The goldfish are feeder fish to be fed to my turtles when older. I dont want to introduce turtles with these tiny red worms in summer? how do i kill them? sarah
  22. poor bruce he is lucky to thow have such a caring owner like yourself. You should pat yourself on the back and cherish the time you have had with him you are doing the best thing even thow its soo hard take care and cherish the photos and time you both spent together sarah
  23. Hi Silly question i know. But the heat emitters you can buy on trademe for reptiles ie Listing #: 472521923 are they the same as the Elstein Infrared dull heat emitters? Listing #: 472164766. They look like the same thing just alot cheaper if you buy from an electrical place thanks
