Baby EBT found

[shellfreak]

I woke up this morning to feed my box turtles. I looked down and saw something moving; a hatchling. i woke up my boxies in march, put them outside in April. I don't think it's possible for a female to lay eggs and have them hatch in such a short time frame. I'm thinking this was one that hatched back in September or October and spent the winter under ground. It had some worms in its left eye. I cleaned it up and placed it in the incubator on some wet paper towels for the night. Yolk sac is present, but all dried up.

I would post some great pictures but I can't post pictures from my iPhone. For some reason it doesn't allow me to do so.

It really surprises me that a hatchling can hibernate.

Let me know if this worked? Tried using photo bucket. Posting pics on tortoise forum app with iPhone has become a pain in the rear. Used to be so easy. New upgrade didnt help me at all.

Little guy doing well. His eye healed over. He is for sure blind on the left side, but eating. I think he might make a full recovery.

So cute! Its amazing at times how nature takes care of itself when we aren't watching. On eye I am sure it will end up just fine. Our oldest dog went blind young due to a genetic condition we were not aware of at the time of purchase. He gets along just fine. Does everything he always did other then chase a ball or stick. However, he has found all new ways to play. Sure this little guy will find his own way.

Really hope he fully recovers

Missing an eye hasn't even effected this little guy. He takes down crickets with the best of em. As long as they are coming towards him from the right....

That's GREAT! Isn't amazing how easily animals adapt?
