wow.. thats a huge difference in size.. Same age? How old?
I would be tempted to seperate them and try pushing some extras on the little one.. but maybe
he is ok and normal.. maybe its the big one that is not normal.. ! In the wild the little one may not have survived..
i dont know..
Do you entice him ? extra warm soaks?

I would also check Luc's nose and make sure its clear and he can Smell his food.

they were hatched the same day and from the same parents they are 10 months, I did separate them a few months ago because the little one wouldn't eat at all so I posted about it and maggie told me to separate them so I did. Im sure that the little one wouldn't have made it in the wild. I do entice him I give him hibiscus hell eat that and certain greens he likes, he's kinda picky haha. I will check his nose just to make sure he can smell his yummy food. Thanks for the advice!

They look like the little Desert Tort I'm caring for currently. They are great little torts - congrats!

Those weeds in photo 3, "euphorbia maculata" I think, are Taco's favorite.

They're hard to find in my yard because I have never let them grow; I am afraid of other people's in case they have been sprayed with Roundup.

Your torties "racing" to the flower blossom are so cute.
