Leopard tortoise twins update.

[etreal]

I just want to update how are the twins doing.
They were born in February, and despite they are still tiny (22 grams) they are doing great.

The other 3, that were born January-Frebruary are also doing great!

Best regards.

Are you housing them in a closed chamber with high humidity?
Do you feed Mazuri at all? Mazuri a couple times a week will help put some size on them and will help to round out their diet.

Hi Wellington!

Yes, they have their closed chamber with humidity around 90%.

I do not feed Mazuri. Here in Monterrey a pound costs about 14 USD.

2 pounds of opuntia are about 2 USD. So they have opuntia, squash, different kinds of zucchini, cucumber, grass, dandelion, clover, carrot, coriander and different kinds of lettuce.

The twins were 14 grams when they were born. So they have been growing more or less at the same rate than the other 3, but they were half the size and weight.

This is a picture of Jacinta, the proud Mom. Let’s see if this year I can increase the success rate if she lays more eggs.

Beautiful momma they have.
As long as they keep growing then things should be good. I would feed less veggies though.
Good luck.
