They are so tiny for 8 months... My 6 month old is a good bit larger than that. Are you sure of their age?

After looking at all the pix on here, makes me wonder about their ages also. Its what we were told when we picked them up. We have had them for 3 weeks now.

We weighed them last week, they are 1.5/1.6 grams. The heavier one, was incubated, the other, natural outside.

At that weight, how old would you guys speculate?

Hello and Welcome.:) the one looks a little dry. They are smooth looking. Get them started in an enclosure like what you will find in the threads below in my post. They are Toms and a great way to keep those torts smooth.

Could they have ment 8 wks instead of months maybe? They look like the are well taken care of so I would suggest the same as Wellington Tom's thread will help you keep those 2 gorgeous lil future giants smooth and healthy.

Im definitely thinking more of an 8 weeks old than 8 mo old, compared to others on pics of some, close to the same age.

Ive already read Toms info, about a week ago, before i registered

I agree, looks to be 8 weeks, not months. Here is my baby, when he was 5 weeks old, then now at 6 months old and 145 grams. Cute babies though!

Welcome, your little guys are so cute. I say 8 weeks also they look just about the same size when we brought our babies home. Coming from a complete newbie Toms info is the best and I am sure has saved my babies. Welcome again. Can't wait to see more pictures.
