Susan,

Welcome to the hobby.

1) What kind of veg? (local names pls)
I use Kangkong, hibiscus leaves, cucumber, lady's finger and Mazuri diet.

2) Where to buy food like mulberry leaves in Sg? There are many greens listed in a lot of caresheets which I never see in Sg or with names too complicated for me.
Most of the reports were written by the experts from the west. So, you might not find them in Asia.

3) Where to buy supplements? I can't find any Tort feed without meat in local pet stores.
I got my calcium supplements from US. But, you can also use those that you can get from your local pharmacy. I was using calcium lactose and you need Vit. D3 too if kept indoor. (Do a search on Calcium D3 to understand how it works). I put them in the garden everyday when it is sunny, so they get the Vit. D3 naturally from the sun.

4) Daily husbandary routine.
You can use "kitten sand" that you can get in NTUC. so, we remove any waste whenever we see it.

5) Cleaning the tort. I use a toothbrush, I thinks she hate it.
Singapore relative humidity level is on the high side. If you do wash your star, do it on a warm and sunny day.

6) Possible to toilet train them?
haha.. good question.. not sure about that...
