Greetings Here~Credits Thanks for the BlogskinRe-edited by The Cosmos Clique New Location for Cosmos' Sleeping Time
Tuesday, 15 April 2014
Ever since the very first day Xing Yue came into the family, till the day where Yang Guang and Yue Guang's arrival, the cosmos clique have been sleeping in their tank, placed in the living room. It was only recently when we noticed that the Cosmos have been napping A LOT in the afternoon... making us wonder if they couldn't get enough sleep during the night. What could be the reason? After thinking hard, we concluded that it might be due to the naturally cold weather in the night. We do know that turtles are dependent of their environment for regulation their body temperature, and cold isn't really good for them in the long run. So after some discussion, it's been decided that the Cosmos will still continue to sleep in their tank, but had their tank to be placed in a place where it wouldn't be too cold for them. Would any of you like to guess where could that be? The answer is... in FiOh's bedroom. Unexpectedly, due to the different directions which the bedrooms are facing, FiOh's room is kind of the most suitable room, as its usually warmer as compared to the rest, even if its the night time. Doctor Chua has mentioned to give the turtles a choice between the wet and dry land, but we noticed that Xing Yue doesn't really know how to bask himself properly. So, from this day onwards, the Cosmos would have a 'Sleep Time' tank setup as well. Can you picture that in mind? A Sleep Time tank setup. Well, it's more to train the Cosmos of learning to dry themselves for sleep (we do not want them to sleep in the water at night as it will just turn cold no matter what). Still remembers the Ikea Lamp from before? Every night before Cosmos went to sleep, they would be given the lamp light to get some heat. :)

Cosmos Clique is the name for all our 5 lovely pet turtles.
We found a Malayan Box Turtle (MBT) hatchling in the neighborhood park and 'adopted' him back home on 14th Feb 2014. We named him Xing Yue (Starry Moon).
On 15th Mar 2014, we purchased 2 Red-Eared Sliders (RES) hatchling from local pet shop to keep Xing Yue accompanied. We named the two RES as Yang Guang (Sunlight) and Yue Guang (Moon Light). The three of them started bonding since then.
On 25th Dec 2014, after Christmas visiting, we rescued an abandoned adult Malayan Box Turtle (MBT) from the nearby park. We named her as Liu Xing (Meteor). She is the only Princess in the Cosmos Clique~
As Liu Xing is too big sized compared to Xing Yue and we wanted to find a buddy for him, we later manged to purchase one from a seller met online, however, it turns out that this adult MBT we got from the seller is in a very bad shape (serious health issues) and the seller 'ran away' from his guilty acts. Despite the bad health conditions, with daily TLC, we managed to get our 5th Cosmos member back to health. We named him Yin He (Galaxy).
As we treat Cosmos Clique just like our family members, we too celebrate their birthday for them. Because we do not have any actual info of their birth dates, we have decided to set their birthday as the date they joins our family.
We usually refer Xing Yue, Yang Guang and Yue Guang as 'Babies' as they became our family members when they were hatchlings. Besides feeding them their Breakfast and Dinner in their respective feeding tanks, Cosmos' typical day includes having chill-lax (walking) session within a customised barricade that we built from scratch. Within the barricade, we gave them lots of colourful rubber balls, dish of water as well as some magnetic floating platforms.
On the weekend, we would aim to catch the natural sun rays before 11:30 AM in the morning and bring Cosmos down to the patches of grass for a 30 minutes basking session (of course, within their outdoor barricade). Cosmos Clique are getting popular with the adults and kids in the neighbourhood too!
