Very Proud Of Tiny Tikii
Smile We are happy to report that after much love, care, proper treatment and a lot of patience tiny tiny Tikii has FINALY broke the 50 gram mark and shows growth WOOT!! Go little baby Tikii!!!Big GrinTortoise YIPPY!! its about time, he really enjoys his outdoor grazing time now and happyly grazes right along and gets lots excersize and sunshine, his plastron is hard now.

Hes such a good little tiny baby he really does try hard and fights to stay doing well. We keep a VERY close eye on him for when he has bad days and we stay right on top of it to make sure he stays WELL hydrated and eats.

Will do another update in 2 weeks with another weigh in. We are all super proud of Tiny Tikii.Big Grin

Weigh in today.

Mow, Tikii, mow!!
I'm glad to hear he's growing. Slow, grass-fed growth might someday prove to be the best growth.
