I am a bit concerned. Runts sometimes have health problems, and it can take years for such to show or just suddenly they die out of no where. He will probably be one you are going to have to keep.

I'm sad to say he didn't pull through. He was a trooper but his yolk sac didn't seem to absorb at all. Thanks for all the concern guys.

I know this is out there but...

Is there any evidence of conjoined twins in tortoises? Your picture of the sac almost looks to be "more" than a sac if that makes any sense.

I am so sorry to hear about him. At least you gave the little guy the best chance at survival possible. That's so sad...there must have been some major health issues in the baby tortoise, but you made him comfortable and gave him a good life (even though it was very short.) :(

Oh, I am so sorry he was such a cute little guy. At least the short life he had was with someone that really cared.

Hm-m...I've always wondered if there would be any dwarfism in the tortoise world. It will be interesting to watch this one grow.

Similar thoughts. Hasn't dwarfism has been seen in many species?
