Handbook of forage plants 2nd revised editionMarion Minch is not only a successful breeder of diverse tortoises for many years, but also an excellent connoisseur of native wild herbs. She founded and runs samenkiste.de, which is well known to many tortoise keepers and nature lovers. Her name is inextricably linked with reptile care and species-appropriate nutrition for tortoises. Her handbook of food plants summarises the most important native food plants for herbivorous and omnivorous reptiles. She not only considers tortoises, but also iguanas, spiny-tailed dragons and even chameleons. From the basics of plant biology to native wild herbs to suitable food plants for hardy tropical reptile species, this comprehensive work provides the basis for species-appropriate keeping. In the expanded and supplemented 2nd edition, the plant section is divided according to flower colour. This makes it even easier to identify wild herbs.

Big mouth - and what's behind it! Jewelled horn frogs are real character animals.

Content:
Hedgehogs are simply sympathizers. Who could escape the curiosity of such a little sting-knight? It is no wonder that especially the pretty Weissbauchigel has mixed the kleinsäugerszene and now belongs in all its attractive color variants among the most popular exotics in the domestic animal husbandry. Its multifaceted behavior, the communication among each other and the family life together inspire the owner.
Author Daniela Guist has been holding and breeding Weissbauchigel for a long time and is a proven expert in this field. In this book, she describes her experiences and describes in detail and practical ways how the prickly bladders are nurtured and cultivated. A must for all hedgehogs!
