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!
