3 week old baby

[ShellyTurtlesCats]

Someone (school teacher) just came to my home and dropped off a 3 week old baby Sulcata! Oh my goodness! So cute. First thing I did was soak her, and boy was she gulping water (doubt it's seen any water because this baby is dry and very thirsty)!

Looking for Fall/Halloween names! Feel free to give some for me to think about...


Attached a pic of it's BM. Normal?

Omg..poor little thing is very dehydrated...do you have a warm humid enclosure set up yet?
His mouth concerns me. Its green. Also have you seen him open it?
Did they tell you how they got it or what the story is behind it?
They did the right thing by giving it to you.
I hope it isnt to late though.

Marigold
Boo
Charity
Turk
Maize (or Maisey?)
Trick (or Trixie?)

Green to me means its been munching. I've seen it drink, go potty but that's it.

He said he hatches about 60 each year. So, his tortoises are breeders.

Humid/hot already set up. Secluded.

Yes, like a turkey. Though torts are pretty good at "gobbling" too!

You're too funny. I thought the style of your text was so credible, if someone didn't know about Tom's babies, they could've been fooled for real lol

No guys, you're not, I'm lost. I'm laughing so hard I can't see straight. I mistaken your thread with another one I was reading. My error guys...the laugh is on me

As I'm reading the entire thread now, I can't believe how screwed up I am right now. I'm trying to correct my mistake, and I can't stop laughing at myself! Btw Shelly, the baby looks wonderful. He's in good hands now.

LMAO. Hilarious. I've done that on Facebook and it causes massive amounts of confusion.

I notice this baby isn't very active. It's eating and drinking and pooping... maybe it's just shy? Seems to cower in it's shell a lot.

How active & fearless are normal 3 weekers?

[lkwagner]

I found they get a lot more brave and show their personalities the older they get. My 2.5 year kid is very personable.

 

[ShellyTurtlesCats]

Okay. Good... was a little worried. Sounds like he's just being instinctive.
