Well we are almost a week in and the babies are doing great they go outside for at least a hour a day and get a diet of mixed greens (this week mustard and collard) and organic spring mix with wheat grass in the tank for them to nibble on when ever they feel up to it I am excited to say they have been eating the grass . They get baths daily and also get cuddle bone on the tank to nibble on as well as d3 calcium every other day.
They are smooth now so it would be my fault if they began to pyramid and I won't let that happen I can say I am extremely impressed with how much they can eat and how great of personalities they have I've taken to calling mine (hoping its a girl not that I really care Chunk). Only one of them is mine but I am turtle siting for a friend (we shared the shipping cost lol).
I do have one question I read Toms thread and used cypress mulch well it seems they nibble on it this makes me nervous should I be worried?
Anyway here are the pics the part people really care about


Chunk is on the left she was about 2 cm smaller than her brother

Hi Deac77:

Are you using a red light? Sometimes the red makes the substrate look to the tortoise like food. You can buy a product made by Sticky Tongue Farms called Miner-all. Use it sparingly like you do the calcium powder. Its minerals and helps them get what they need from their food so they don't have to eat dirt for minerals.

 

[Deac77]

Yes but only at night lol I'll look into the mineral stuff thanks
