Wow, is that real? Can baby torties really be that tiny? Or do we have photoshop to thank for this? Either way, so freakin' cute!!!!

Cool thanks! I'm going to try to find some videos of torts up-righting themselves and see if it helps give me some idea of what might work on the bricks.

What could I put to help him flip back, does it have to be a certain size? Thanks!!

Thank you JoesMom & dmmj! That's great because I love potted plants (the tort munchable variety!) and was thinking about adding a planter for growing grasses too. In the mean time I'll find something to put there :)

Lol, guess I have!! Claire's had a Desert Tortoise for years who she adores and I actually never got what she saw in him until I took care of him for a couple months while she was selling her house and moving (a couple years back). I think there's just something lovely about a tortoise routine...

Thanks so much Carol! I think I was slow turning him over but now that I know this I'll be super slow if it ever happens again (Which hopefully it won't!!!)

Well I totally dropped the ball on this little project! Sorry 'bout that! I STILL haven't found a plant ID site/app that I love and I've looked through so many. Anyone have any plant/tree/weed ID sites or apps that they can't live without? :)

I'm not sure what this means :) but... thanks? ;)

Thanks Razan, I'm learning more & more to trust that little voice always! Good idea re: pics, I'll try to take some soon :)

I had been out all morning and just on a whim decided to stop at home before my next appt. Thank you intuition!!!! Because who do I find ON HIS BACK but my dear Sully Ned!! He must have been there for a while because he had defected on himself and the poo was dry on the outside. I flipped him...

Thank you so much Jockma!
