Hey guys! Sorry to be posting something that has been posted a few times before, but I thought I'd rather be safe than sorry. I've seen similar posts to what I'm saying here but wanted to show pictures of my tortoises and make sure they're okay rather than guessing by what people have replied...

Yeah, we have banana and dandelion. We give them with other food like fruit and veg :)

Dog food? I do try to include protein in their diets but am very unsure as to what I can give them. My dog eats Pedigree chunks in gravy and Bakers dog biscuits. I imagine the biscuits would be good soaked in water. What else protein-wise could I give them though? I was wondering if I could feed...

Okay, thank you! We feed them mixed with other foods a couple of days a week but the tortoises seem to love them so it's good that they can be part of a varied diet.

Ah, great! This is what we do, we feed them fruit and veg almost every day and then veg with a few pellets on other days. :)

Me too. I've read a bit up on them and I can see how the seller tried to gender them but we are keeping in mind that they could be anything really. It's nice to have an idea in our heads, so we can call them "she" and "he" until we know otherwise. :)

Thank you both!

Thank you! Although she is a good-natured dog, she is a very big dog so we don't let her around them without having a hold on her in the off chance that she steps on them or anything. And I think Jaffa Cake is more likely to decide Denny is a good chew toy than vice versa!

Yeah, any time they go out doors we supervise them. We feed them everything they eat indoors when they're outdoors, sometimes we just feel its nice to give them a bit of natural sunlight (whenever it's occasionally out here in the UK). Thanks for the advice!

I think I posted via a link that was specific to my own Google account so only I can view them anyway. :( I found it a bit difficult but if you want to view photos of them, we've made them an Instagram account, yeezyandjaffacake. :D

Hi! Thanks for the welcome. :) I did struggle a bit with the photos, wasn't sure if they would work. Haven't figured out a different way of uploading photos yet, but we did make an Instagram account for them where you can view our best photos and videos! It's yeezyandjaffacake ><

I think just guesses really by the shapes of their shells and stuff. She did tell us they could turn out to be anything but gave it a guess anyway. We didn't choose them based on gender anyway, we wanted two and chose the two hatched on the same day so we could celebrate their birthdays...

Hi, I've got two baby cherry head tortoises about four months old (see more about them in my introduction thread). They eat all kinds of things - things I've tried with them and they've eaten include: broccoli leaves, cabbage, different types of lettuce, tomatoes but not very much, bananas...

Hello all! My name's Becky and I am mother to two baby cherry head tortoises, Yeezy and Jaffa Cake. Me and my boyfriend, Ronan, got them in June, and we think they were hatched in May. The woman we bought them off was very interested in tortoises, she had many of her own and had been breeding...
