Wow! So that’s what 200 grams looks like Pickles is just hitting 100.

 

[EllieMay]

This is Crusher self soaking before breakfast... She just hit the 75 gram mark but she knows when it’s feeding time

 

[EllieMay]

And breakfast is served!!
I’m not sure why she is so small.. she has the same set up as pickles and the same routine.. outside, she grazes well and responds well to my voice. She likes to be petted though maybe a little more timid than the others now. I guess in my mind, I’m thinking I had the boy/ girl thing all wrong.. I bet She will be a little female and Pickles and Crusher will be my attention seeking men..??? Who knows!View attachment 252612

They are so cute and you take such great care of them! I almost named Murphy "Crush" after the turtle in finding Nemo.

It might be that Crusher has been more affected by a dry start than Pickles and takes more time to recover. I think we know our sullys have not been kept in the ideal situation when they hatched because if it was the case they could already be 500g. Once they get past that they should all grow in a steady and normal way and Pickles might as well turn out to be your chill male in a couple years!

Thanks! I have definitely become tortoise obsessed.. they are in the back of my mind no matter what I’m doing.. I spend a lot of time that I shouldn’t really have just interacting with them... they like it though
I love that movie!! I’m a cartoon nut so it’s a good thing I’ve got kids to give me an excuse.. lol

Your right! I typed pickles & Crusher earlier but I meant Pickles and Toretto... I would be worried but Crusher does have a steady weight gain and seems fine other than being small... I do find myself babying her just a bit more due to her size though.. shame on me I guess [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]....

There is nothing wrong with that.
