Is rather see a thin adult than obese though. Medically has an easier remedy to thin animals than obese. Especially the giant species.

This is too adorable.

If would be too sweet if she and Peanut acted like they remembered each other. Would love to know what kind of memory they had. They have the elephant legs, maybe their memory too. Although, there are times that would be too sad.

Do you think they were skinny, Alpha and Diva because they didn't have any grazing area? I'm sure Alpha didn't being in a zoo, but what about Diva?

The females are so much smaller than the males, I would be afraid that she would get squished. I never thought I'd say this About one of your adult tortoises but she looks so tiny :) do you plan on which tortoises breed with each other or do you just let it happen?

~ She is not so small, she is actually one of our bigger females. She is in the same weights and sizes as Sandy and Grace.
