I used to breed Chinese Shar-Pei. I never let my puppies go to it's new home until it was 12 weeks. I did this, so I could make sure he/she got at least 3 of the needed 4 puppy shots. I gave my puppies the best start possible, before sending them off to their new caretakers. I also had a rock solid purchasing contract and a perspective buyer interview. Most people thought it would be easier to buy a mansion, then one of my puppies.
My question is this. At what age should a tortoise/turtle be sold? How young is too young? Is there much of a difference between selling one at 6 weeks to selling one at 8 weeks, or even 12 weeks. At what age would you say they are safe from getting "hatchling failure syndrome"?
Thank you all in advance for you thoughts and opinions
