Our two newest tortoise family members arrived via FedEx this morning: two TINY baby Marginated tortoises from GBtortoises.
Let me tell you, Gary has been a wonderful source of information, and very pleasant to deal with. I am so excited that I get to raise these two hatchlings from him. They are beautiful, active right out of the box, healthy, and perfect. Thanks, @GBtortoises!
I chose the darkest and the lightest of the batch, and they are from different unrelated clutches.
For size comparison, Buttercup is 11 months old and weighs 78g. These wee girls both weigh in at 16g. So tiny!
I have named the darker of the two babies 'Blossom' and the lighter one 'Bubbles' - so including Buttercup, we now have 3 little Power Puff Girls. If one (or more) turn out to be male, we'll have to rename them.
Welcome to our family, you wee wonderful little chelonians!
