Got my babies the other day and looking good. (Testudo graeca nabeulensis)
They spend most of the day just resting but eating well and exploring. Smaller one even crawled up on a rock.
The last photo is the bigger one, a whopping 2 grams heavier.
Yesterday they attacked a Dandelion flower and other then the stem attachment area ate all the pedals in a few minutes. They dig in for the evenings and don't use their hides....guess that is ok. Fun to watch then digging in.
Wish us luck!
