THIS JUST HAPPENED!!!

Well I'm still confused on my little guys because when Flip came out of that egg, there was no yolk sack, and the rest were all healed up. I assumed they would all have them.

TJ is the eater of the group so far though, caught him eating a grub, a little wiggler, mazuri and a meal worm today.

My favorite thread too. Wow, my guys were 10 & 11 grams when I got them and they were 6 months old according to the breeder.I am starting to wonder if they were younger.

I have one that's about 8-9 months and he's 12 grams I think they just grow very slowly

All 5 are progressing great so far, TJ has proved to be the dominant one, he eats everything and stays out all day guarding to food. I finished the portable outdoor enclosure today so I can take them out when I'm home for a hour or so. I need to pickup a few more plants to add.

Flip hasn't flipped in about a week. I think he's the one of the smallest turtles I've ever seen.

Lovely.
Flip is now Non-flip, Or Ex-flip.

Well it's been a couple weeks now, all have gained weight and are very active. The biggest is TJ at 11 grams. Here's a few pics of them getting a little Sun today.

So, so gorgeous.
And all of them have made it. (so far)
You deserve a medal for your care and dedication.
And a badge for luckiness.

 

[cmacusa3]

It's definitely been a chore so far.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

But surely very rewarding.

 

[Marty T]

Those are some lucky finds.

 

[cmacusa3]

Update all have made it to double digits. 3 @ 11 grams and 2 @ 12 grams.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

You are a true hero, my friend

 

[cmacusa3]

Thanks sir, these little guys are very entertaining.

Hoss is showing more new growth then the rest, his plastron and carapace are both looking great

I can see a little on the others but not nearly as much as it's showing on Hoss.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Beautiful.

I am glad they are doing good. They are so cute.

Thanks, It's been great so far, eating machines. They've eaten 25 dubia since yesterday. I squash the head on the Dubia enough that that are still moving but can't go anywhere and it's a massacre
One of my cameras is set up inside the enclosure and I can't believe how active they are all day long, from lights on until it goes off, Constantly eating, soaking and just exploring. Now I have to start planning what to do with them, I have a feeling Mama is getting ready to lay some more eggs.
