Charlie and Butters

Hi everyone! So a couple of months back I posted about rescuing two baby sulcata tortoises from a cousin who, aside from buying them from a terrible source,failed to take care of them correctly himself. At almost 6 months old Charlie weighed 45 grams and Butters 55 grams with visible pyramiding. I learned I shouldn't keep them in pairs and my sister took over the care of Butters but got tired after a week :/ so I brought butters back and got them each set up with their own 50 gallon tubs.

With the help of everyone here, and especially from @Tom, my babies are thriving! They are just past 7 months old. Butters is 132 grams now and Charlie is 126 grams. I am just very excited and wanted to share my excitement and appreciation for everyone's help. I'm just sad these guys didn't have a better start and that I couldn't be there to prevent the pyramiding but I'm doing everything I can to keep them happy and healthy.

Here are my babies

Very happy they’re doing well! It looks like the new growth is coming in smooth, too

What pyramiding? They look great.

Those tortoises are so lucky they found their way into your hands. Its always nice to see another success story. Thanks for this post.

I have to agree they look fantastic. It's always amazing how well they do with propper care.

Awesome job they look great!

Thank you so much to everyone here!![emoji173][emoji173]
