Hello, everybody! After a wacky January clutch, we weren’t sure that even the one egg that chalked would make it. But after a way longer time than we thought, one of them hatched! I only found this out after I went to throw the eggs out (I’m a terrible tortoise mom, I know), so I’m not sure how many days they’ve been out of their egg for. Lil’ Cupcake’s been doing well on a terrarium we set up with all the basic necessities; they’re moving around, and we tried to give them a bath but they got water up their nose, so we took them out. What are the next steps from here to make sure Cupcake survives? They’re attempting to eat their first piece of lettuce as we speak; it’s the same thing as we feed our adult Russians, just chopped up smaller. I’m not sure what their yolk sac looks like, since they clawed me when I tried to turn them over.
