Ideas for egg laying 3
(June 6, 2016)
Kichi & Fuku's owner who told us about her ideas for egg laying of her two turtle, Kichi & Fuku
in "Ideas for egg laying 1" of this website several years ago proposed another good idea.

It is about noise prevention measures at the time of egg laying.
We are anxious that noise made by turtles at their egg laying time may annoy neighbors
for example the people who live in downstairs at the condominium.
This idea may be useful at such time.
what you need is just this.


This is the tape to prevent
the noise of shutting a door
by absorbing shock.





Put this tape on the plastrum
after turn turtle upside down
as right photo.








The owner was satisfied by quietness. On the other hand she was worrying about if it gave
turtles a stress.Observing well, she realized that they didn't mind about it especially fortunately.

The idea of softening noise and shock at the time of touching turtle shell with floor, wall
and so on by using an item to soften noise and shock at the time of shutting doors.
We can understand the reason easily. But we cannot hint it easily.
I think that It is a very good idea.

It has not only the merit for the owner also that for turtles. Using this tape can ease also
the shock that turtles feel at the same time. It is turtle friendly measures.
It may be used when we leave turtles loose in the rooms also except egg laying time.

This tape relatively resists water.
But turtles are likely to eat them at the time of peeling off them in the water.
Actually there is little chance like that because they have no appetite at the time
of egg laying.. But the possibility is not zero. Take care of such a case when you try, please.
The owner of Kichi & Fuku said that there are no experience like that for Kichi & Fuku.

The owner of Kichi & Fuku said that she is mindful of Frequent change of tape not to peel
the tape in the water. She said that she often change it every 1-2 days though it manages
to bear water for 3-4 days. She said that she peels old tape, dries shell well and, puts new one
there.

There are a lot of owners with troubles of egg laying time of turtles. And some of them
surely come to think about leaving their turtles as members of their family after much agonizing.
Trying to reduce such troubles may be useful to prevent them from leaving turtles
and also reduce turtles abandoned by their owners and seen as bad animal of world


Kichi & Fuku came to this wabsite
again to like to be of use to
many turtles and their owner
after a long interval.

Also a lovely photo of these days
not only photo of the figure turning
upside dawn

This is Fuku basking, 18 years old now.

Thank you very much, Kichi & Fuku , and their owner.
