Izintambo zasezinkanyezi zaseNdiya zitholakala naseNdiya (lapho zithola khona igama lawo), ePakistan naseSri Lanka. Ziyi-tortoises ezinamahloni ezinama- carapaces amahle futhi zihlala zihle kakhulu.

Iziphuphu zezinkanyezi zaseNdiya azizona izihluthulelo ezinkulu uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye iziphuphu ezincane ze-Sulcata kodwa eziningi akusho ukuthi azidingi isikhala sabo.
Iziphuphu zenkanyezi zaseNdiya zingahlala endlini endlini enkulu yezinhlanzi noma i-plastic container, njengengaphansi kwebhokisi lebhedi noma isitsha sokugcina. Abadingi ukuphakama okuningi ekuvaliwe kwabo kodwa kufanele bavikeleke kwezinye izilwane ezifuywayo endlini (amakati nezinja) ngehlobo oluthile lwesiprini. Izindwangu zangaphandle kufanele zibe nezinyawo eziningana (mhlawumbe izinyawo ezinhlanu noma eziyisithupha) zigcwale izindonga ukuthi i-tortoise yakho ayikwazi ukubona. Iziphuphu zezinkanyezi ngokuvamile azigodli ngakho akudingeki ukhathazeke ngokungcwaba izindonga emhlabathini kakhulu kakhulu njengawe nezinye iziphuphu eziningi. Kufanele kubekwe isembozo esiphephile phezu kwezihluthu lapho kushiywe kungavunyelwe ukuvimbela izilwane zasendle ukuba zingafiki kubo. Izinyoni, ama-raccoons, ama-opossums, nezinye izilwane zasendle ziyaziwa ukuthi zilimaza futhi zidle iziphuzo ezincane eziboshwe ezingxenyeni zangaphandle.
Ibhokisi lokufihla elimanzi kanye nesitsha esikhulu samanzi abangakwazi ukukhuphuka kalula kufanele sinikezwe ngaso sonke isikhathi ngaphezu kombhede owenziwe ngokufaka umhlabathi (akukho amakhemikhali), i-peat moss, noma ngisho ne-hay noma utshani.

Iziphuphu zezinhlobo zonke zidinga izibani zokushisa nezibani ze-UVB. Izibani zokushisa zenzelwe ukugcina inkanyezi yakho iqhube ukufudumala futhi ukukhanya kwezibani ze-UVB kuyinqubo ye Vitamin D3 ukuze i-calcium ingene kahle. Ngaphandle kokubili izinhlobo zokukhanyisa isibhamu sakho sezinkanyezi ngeke senze isikhathi eside kakhulu.
Izibani ezinkulu zokushisa zidinga ukushisa izivalo ezinkulu ezidingekayo izinkanyezi zenkanyezi. Abanikazi abaningi bakhetha ukusebenzisa i-mercury bulb bulb eyinhlanganisela ye-UVB nokukhanya okushisa uma benendawo yokuhamba noma ipeni elikhulu lesilwane sabo. Uma kungenjalo i-bulb yesibindi sokushisa kwama-reptile kanye ne-bulb ehlukile ye-UVB kufanele isetshenziselwe ukuhlinzeka ngezinga lokushisa endaweni engaphansi kwe-degrees Fahrenheit engamatshumi ayisithupha futhi ungavumeli ukudonsa okunye okungeziwe ngaphansi kwama-70. I-bulb ye-UVB kufanele ihlale umjikelezo wehora le-12 futhi ithathelwe indawo njalo ezinyangeni eziyisithupha, ngisho noma ingashintshi. Imibala engabonakali ye-UVB iyophuma ngaphandle kokukhanya okubonakalayo kuphuma.
I-Indian Star Tortoise Diet
Iziphuphu zenkanyezi ziyi-herbivores. Lokhu kusho ukuthi akufanele neze kudliwe ukudla kwezinja noma ikati kodwa kunalokho uthole okuningi kokusha, omnyama, amaqabunga, imifino kanye nohlaza. UThimothewu hay, uBermuda utshani, utshani obuntshitshi, utshani, i-alfalfa, ne-fescue yizo zonke izinhlobo zotshani ezamukelekayo. Imifino emisha ihlanganisa i-kale, i-endive, i-parsley, imifino ye-dandelion, i-escarole, amaqabunga e-cactus angenalutho, imifino yesinaphi nokuningi. Izinhlobo ezihlukahlukene lezi kanye neminye imifino ene-calcium ephakeme kunezinga le-phosphorus kufanele linikezwe njalo ukuze i-tortoise yakho ingabi ukudla okukhethiweyo.
I-calcium powder kufanele ifakwe emfuleni nsuku zonke ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi isihluthulelo sakho sezinkanyezi zaseNdiya sithola i-calcium ngokwanele ekudleni kwayo. Isamba esincane kakhulu sesithelo singanikezwa.
Izinhlanzi zenkanyezi yizilwane ezifuywayo ezide kakhulu, zihle kakhulu, futhi zingabuye zithengi kakhulu. Qinisekisa ukuthi ulungele lolu hlobo lwesilwane ngaphambi kokuthatha isikhukhula esincane somntwana esithombeni esilandelayo noma esitolo sesilwane.
