And this is Tazer (Leopard) He'll turn 4 months old on the 27th. He's a treasure for sure!

My little Roo is getting a new baby brother today!!
Roo shouldn't be walking around like that. He should be in his enclosure where he'll have his humidity, warmth and UVB. There are many dangers for a tortoise walking around like that. He could eat something like hair or lint balls, which could ultimately cause impaction. He could also be stepped on, cicked or even snatched by another pet of yours.

Chris, nice looking tort. Id suggest u sink your food and water bowls down into the substrate so your tort doesnt have to climb up into the bowl. It's more natural for a tortoise to drop it's head down into the bowl to eat or drink.

Nice little baby torts Sophie!!!
Thanks for the advice about the bowl. I have since done so. That picture was right after I got him.

That's a good-looking tort! Is Artemis eating corn salad/lamb's lettuce? Is that an underbite I see?
Yes he's having a bit of lambs lettuce, I plan to trim down his underbite soon but to be honest I'm slightly scared and have been putting it off
