I can never get pics of my pig 'flying'
They are just too lazy

one of these day i try on shelly.

schmike: feeding once a week sounds a bit to extreme, like starving the poor pnt like that.

Elindra: how often do u feed urs now?

[Schmike]

turtles r the same as fish. they can go without food for a long time n its not necessary to feed them all the time.

[blondmyth]

so for large pnts, whats the ideal feeding routine like? used to feed every day when it was younger, now no more daily feeding as it produces just too much waste?

i dont think there is any standard rule on feeding regime. u can feed them all the time but they may not eat all the time.

personally, i will prefer to keep them in a tank to see them "fly". that is the beauty of these creatures.

for 1 PNT, a 6x2.5x2.5 shld b able to last for quite a few yrs.

my balcony should be able to house a 5ft tank oni.
This piggy has not eaten since I brought it home last Wed,any advice on the possible diet?I had tried dry pellet and mp.

What a beautiful reptile..hopefully one day i will be able to adopt one
