When your tortoises first hatch out, are they oblong and egg shaped? How long does it take for them to round out?
The 2 newest leopard babies I have are almost a week old. The yolk sac is almost completely absorbed but boy are they crooked! ;)
It's my first time with the brand new babies, calm my fears and tell me they will take shape soon... Or at least eventually.
