So i purchased a three toed boxie and was told that he/she is approximately 6 months old. I figured that would be perfect because Pepper is about 6 months old and in a short period of quarantine I can try to put them together. Well the boxie was supposed to arrive by 10:30am on Thursday but there were some delays. Long story short, i called fedex many times because if i didn't she probably would have spent the night at fedex. Yes, i cried like a baby because I was scared I would open the package and find her dead (I'm a bit dramatic).
Soooooo....I opened the package and to my surprise the boxie is tiny. Tiny like hatchling tiny lol. My Pepper looks like a giant compared to her. But the thing that i was annoyed with was the fact that she actually cost more than the other babies (I guess because she has some markings on her shell)...BUT...some of her toenails are missing and one of her back toes is twisted backward. She also had puffy eyes and walks funny. I've had her for 2 days and it seems the puffy eyes are better, but still walks funny.
Sorry for ranting on and on....Here are some pics.
Here's Pepper and the new guy. They're the "same age".
Heres the witto wun =) You can see one of the twisted/bend toes in the back.
You can see a missing/broken nail in the front
So do you guys think he's all three toed? Or part something else?
Also i forgot to mention, is it normal for the bottom mouth/beak to curve so much upward into the mouth? He also seems to have a slight overgrown beak for such a young boxie. I'm just curious because Pepper's beak isn't like that.
