Handbook of food plants for tortoises and other reptiles
CHF 46.50
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. The work has also been supplemented with a wealth of additional information and many pictures.

Genus Ceratophrys
Authors Wolfgang Schmidt, Friedrich Wilhelm Henkel
Big mouth - and what's behind it! Jewelled horn frogs are real character animals. They impress with their primitive, brightly coloured appearance, with the variety of species and colour morphs now available and, of course, with their irrepressible appetite, which has also earned them the name "Pacman frogs". Anyone who observes a few basic rules can easily keep these wonderful animals in a terrarium and, with a bit of luck, even get them to breed.

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!
