I feed out of the tank in a plastic container easier to keep the tank maintained. But it sounds like you know that. I find that they do bottom forge, I think at least in my tanks it’s due to the crushed coral they eat, gaining the calcium it supplies. But they also will eat small rock and pebbles which you need to be careful they don’t eat one to big to pass. ——-Original Message——- From: Tilford Bartman Date: 11/04/05 20:45:58 To: diamondbackterrapins@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [diamondbackterrapins] Ebo Jager heater Hi, I’m also new to the group, and purchased a Diaomondback from Johanthan which just arrived yesterday. I’ve kept turtles or tortoises of one kind or another for most of the past forty years, but haven’t had an aquatic turtle for at least 15 years. Currently I breed Cherryhead Redfoot tortoises. If anyone is interested to see it I’ll put a link to my webpage. I’m originally from Virginia and I remember seeing Diamondbacks in their natural environment in Virginia Beach , and also in Northeast North Carolina ‘s outer banks. Mostly I’d see them basking, in particular a couple of times when I was crabbing with some friends. I’ve always admired them though never kept one, and decided to take the plunge after seeing Johnathan’s website. A couple of quick questions. Are Diamondback surface feeders and just as likely to eat something like floating pellets, or are they more likely to bottom feed, and what can be feed to them that would sink to the bottom? When mine is on the bottom he appears to be engaging in foraging behavior. Am I likely to have any success taking this hatchling out of his tank and putting him in something like a rubbermaid container or a five gallon just to feed? I’d like to avoid feeding him in his main tank as much as possible. I have him in a 20 gallon high. http://www.zabludow.com/redfootpage.html Thanks, Tilford ———————— Yahoo!
