To determine healthy tortoise babies always look for:
•Good shell growth
â—¦Never buy a baby tortoise that does not show good growth lines. Tortoises require special bacteria to be preset in their digestive tract to enable them to properly digest and abosrb food. Without these bacteria the tortoises will eat but not grow or thrive. These growth lines are an indication that the baby has this good bacteria established in its system.
