My Mees just got here!

I just received my Mees, and they seem to have arrived happy and healthy. Two of the three are already wandering around and exploring, while the third seems to be a little more worn out from the trip.

The enclosure they're pictured in is just the temporary one I had to bring to my office so I could inconspicuously get them in and out of work (where they were delivered).

A couple of early questions:

1) Previously I had Redfoots, and when they arrived they took around two days to acclimate before they started browsing/eating food. Should I expect something similar with Mees?

2) Currently they're using cypress mulch as primary bedding, and I am considering mixing in moss to "soften it up" some. Any thoughts on substrate composition modifications for their temporary indoor enclosure?

Eventually they'll get their own space in the backyard, but for now I want to make their indoor enclosure as hospitable as possible. Interested in any feedback on this. Thanks for any recommendations, and I look forward to being a contributor to the Mee group here on TF.

Congrats, they are very cute. First thing you should do if you didn't is give them a long warm water soak. As far as your other questions, I know nothing about their care or personality, but I'm sure it will be similar to most torts. Some will adjust faster then others. @Yvonne G i believe can help with the rest.

Congrats. They will quickly become your favorites. They're a very hardy and personable, so don't be surprised if they're eating as early as later on today. As far as cypress mulch, that's all I personally use with mine, both indoors and outdoors, and have never had an issue in the 8yrs I've been keeping them.

Ran out of the office at lunch to get some snacks for them, and they didn't waste any time getting into them. Two are already big fans of the yellow squash while the third is going after dandelion greens. Surprised that they've all been picking around the red pear actually, but to each his own, lol.

Very cute. Take good care of them.

Very impressive! Best of luck with them!

Your Mees look awesome! Congrats on getting them. They love to eat, and they really can pack the food in!

How are they coming along?
