Wednesday, 2 April 2014
 Around last weekend we noticed XY getting "beardy" looking blurry sides... he was brought to his first vet visit but got his head tucked in persistently that only vitamins were issued along with the recommended Mazuri pellets.
This Monday morning, we saw XY's sides getting really murky like he's got pus or what on his face, so we called up the same pets clinic, made an appointment with a more experienced & trained vet in aquatic pets and bring XY down for a second vet visit. (check out Reads section to link of the clinic).
Dr Chua was very patient and skillful in treating XY. He managed to get a good glimpse of XY's sides and confirmed that its skin infection (not Ear infection as of what we were suspecting it to be previously).
As XY is OBVIOUSLY too shy and too timid, it's really difficult for us to apply medication on his infected skin, hence soluble medication was issued to be added to his water. Dr Chua also shared that it is not right for XY to always soak in water.
Gotta give him a choice between the Wet and Dry lands, but XY loves to hide in water so our mum suggested to give XY a dry nest. As of now, XY seems to be having better appetite, accepted Mazuri pellets (initially he was scared of the pellets and hide into his shell O_O!!), right side of his face, which was initially really "cloudy" has gotten better, left side kind of became worse but looks like it's a better kind of worse... not sure if that makes sense (=/).      
Well in any case, this update is to share with all about the latest most concerning event of the Cosmos Clique. Stay tuned for more to come. =)

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!
