So here are a few new pics of my Littlies.

They seem to be ding really well now, still sleep a lot but much more active and happy in general and eating
Beautifully. im so relieved cause squirtle scared me. didn't eat for a whole week, but after 4x baby food soaks he is now eating like a champ.

I still need weigh and measure them, I keep forgetting. and I really need to find a better substrate for the bottom of their tank, just waiting for pay day.
need to get more outdoor pics.

And Sammy the smaller of the 2 seems to be having a slight shell colour change.

So far we haven't found anymore babies in the yard

They are cute. However they look like they are pyramiding. What is the humidity? Is the whole enclosure wood chip substrate? I would add coconut coir to it, it holds humidity really well. They should have 80% humidity with temps no lower then 80.

Yvonne also mentioned the pyramiding, although im new to babies so I don't seeit. their shells look more indented to me, but what do I know lol.

they have only been in their enclosure about w eek now, maybe just more, they hatched in my back yard what a surprise. their humidity is only at 60at the moment, im trying to get it up, temps at 32.
I cant get the cocnut stuff here, or the moss u guys speak of so im getting Malsch today to add for more humidity.
