Mahé & Moyenne, my tortoises from the Seychelles

That’s terrible! May she Rest In Peace. We were very lucky to have her on our forum.

I wish I joined this forum sooner and got to meet Sabine as well. She seemed like a beautiful soul. This is the paradise they live in now. I assume the smaller torts are Ma and Mo, they are obviously doing great.
@Tidgy's Dad please, if you can get in touch with this man, share some more pics or a short video of the enclosure he has it looks incredible. I would like to learn from this man, hopefully one day I can provide such a paradise for my torts.

Thank you so much for the picture! It's great to know they're somewhere where they'll be well cared for.

Thank you for sharing this picture and the hope it inspires. If I'm a good mom and his good health permitting, my little guy will outlive me. Knowing just a little about Sabine, she already had that place in mind for them.?❤️

Hello friends,

for me a dream came true and I got my two aldabra tortoise babies yesterday. They have made the long journey from the Seychelles to Germany where I live.
I am ready for giving them a good life and all what they need as long as I live and after my death too.
I would be glad when you, dear reader, are interested to accompany my torts ( and me ) on their way of growing and thriving.

I think I don`t have to explain their names. In loving memory where they come from I named them Mahé and Moyenne.

They are only one day in their new home and I can already say that they are different in their behavior.
Mahé is the smaller one with the red color spot on the carapax.
Moyenne is a little bit bigger with the yellow color spot on the carapax.
Both seem to be very healthy and having a hard shell. They began to eat a few hours after their arrival yesterday and are eating well today too.
But now it is time to share brandnew pics of "brandnew" tort babies.
Enjoy !
