Hi all! I want to officially introduce everyone to my new babies! Bilbo and Frodo! They are desert tortoises, hatched 9/23/21 and 9/24/21.
Bilbo, born 9/23, weighs 20 grams. He’s eating, love to make a mess, and constantly tries to escape lol. He’s not a quitter! Strong and wild!
Frodo, born 9/24, weighs 16 grams. When I brought him home he was only a few days old and has maggots in his sac. With help from people on this forum I saved him! He’s doing so great! I am a very proud mom! He is eating, he loves the water, and he’s slowly getting some strength and starting to get more curious.
They are currently not housed together, but hopefully soon!
I’ve loved every second of being their mom! These past two weeks have been incredible! I’ve watched them grow so much and I am so in love!
Expect to hear from me a lot. I am very paranoid about this “mortality rate” and I am constantly worrying about them when I’m not home!
Call me obsessed! But I love my kids so much already! Being a tortoise mom is definitely an adventure in itself!
