In about October I was given 4 Ca. Desert Tortoises hatchlings. I gave two to my Mom and kept two. She brought hers over today and both of hers are a lot bigger. They are sibblings. Mine are about 3 inches and hers are 4 inches. Hers also have bigger heads and arms. Mine have a bigger enclosure and are handled a lot. Both sets get calcium with vitamin D and kuttle bones. Hers eat mostly lettus. Mine eat a little bit of lettus (not iceberg) and lots of weed and some rose petals, hibiscus and geraniums flowers. Are mine growing too slow? Are hers growing too fast? We both love our babies and want the best for them.
I can't load pix to this site but my torts now have their own FB page.

Please let me know your thoughts on this. I knew nothing about torts before I got them, but have learned a ton from this forum and want to learn more. Thanks!
