First Tortoise Video =D

[MzNENA]

Just uploaded my very first YouTube video of our little "Squirtle" devouring his food.
We've owned him for just a week now and he is not shy when it comes to hand feeding whatsoever lol He was a lot more vicious a few minutes earlier, but by now he was pretty full
Enjoy!

FYI the white spot near his mouth is just a little calcium powder lol

OMG!!! The cutest thing! Love the coloring on baby Squirtle!
Think I came across your video when I was "researching" greek tortoises, although I just wanted to see cute babe tortoise videos lol
AHH if she lays eggs let me know! That would be awesome and I would have to resist getting another hatchling, myself.

Shelby my female is a full grown adult now and Shedon my full grown adult i got last month is ready to mate! I MEAN HE IS EXCITED! lol... but i have to quarantine for a while until I know he is fully healthy so he doesnt get my Shelby sick... Ill place then in the same pen once the quarantine is over.

Ahh yess quarantine is necessary for newer additions. How long does one keep a new tortoises under quarantine? I'm certain he'll get the process going as soon as they are put together! LOL how exciting!

OMG! That photo is pretty shocking! LOL that is a big difference! How old is Squirtle and how old is Shelby? Of course I know the females grow larger, but wow! Very cute the both of them!

Squirtle was a yearling in this picture and shelby should bout about 5+ years... Shelby was my first tortoise and the petstore told us 4 years old but that was a lie... so i dont really know =(

Aww I wish there were an easy way to age tortoises, but like many animals, unless you already know or if the breeder or previous owner knows, well it remains a mystery =/

Either way at least you know you may have 50+ more years to enjoy them regardless is the age is off by a few years
She is a beautiful tortoise

If you only knew how much I get the hatchings here it'll blow your mind! I can get them as low as 85 dollars. Lol.
