Beautiful! I expected nothing less from you Sabine [emoji6]
Thank you very much !They’re gorgeous!
I am not good in making collages. Wait 5 years and you will see the "now and then" of Ma & Mo.Any updates? A “then-and-now” collage?
more pictures: This is the shy Mo. He is still thinking that I want to eat him. Noo ! Too hard, to big and much too expensive .....

They are really cute. I'm going to try your shower method on Saphire. He's afraid of a spray bottle but may not mind a shower.and last but not least a second video:
Thank you very much ! I try to do my very best to keep them healthy.These might be the most beautiful tortoises in the whole wide world. Ma is fearless, isn’t she? and seeing Mo zoom towards the other side of the enclosure is very endearing. The way their shells are growing in such high domes is a tribute to you as a tortoise keeper.
I used a cup with Saphire and he didn't mind at all. It worked out really well. I put him in his bath bucket with no water and continued with the water from the cup slowly and petted him. He liked it even better then my usual way. He actually enjoys his soaks if there isn't a lot of extra movements.Thank you very much ! I try to do my very best to keep them healthy.
Maybe he thinks it is raining ! Fine that the "shower" method works and he loves it.I used a cup with Saphire and he didn't mind at all. It worked out really well.

He will sit in the rain and doesn't mind it at all. I think that he was uncomfortable with my hand cupping water and pouring it. The movement of my hand probably. Also the spray bottle...and yet he doesn't mind it if I pet his shell and head while I'm slowly pouring his soak water on him until it's deep enough but not too deep. I'm so happy with this way. He actually enjoys it when I pet his shell anyway. He doesn't mind it if Joe does either. I do think he has ulterior motives...he just is hoping he gets to go outside and play...Maybe he thinks it is raining ! Fine that the "shower" method works and he loves it.
