My two Aldabras

[narattah]

Hello all. Here are the pictures of my two Aldabras. I have posted some in the picture section already.
Please do not mind the Sulcatas

They are my favorite tortoises of all time!

very cool..
Not sure they should be kept together tho..
Also.. Are they always on newspaper? Its hard for them to walk and get proper traction.. Thier legs may grow wrong and be splayed.
I hope you have a lot of property or a large yard!

I'm planning on moving them to a yard later, but I like to keep them indoor for now since they are a little too young to be left outside all day in my opinion.

They are cute! Just curious what are they feeding on? I think I see celery and bean sprouts?

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

They are cute at this age.

In the picture, I think it's called pakchoi or mustard, not celery though looks like it. Yes I fed them bean sprouts just once at that time as a little mineral/protein supplement.

you have a very nice tortoise family.

I hope you will accept a bit of constructive criticism:

All of your babies would benefit from being taken off newspaper and put on a substrate that you can moisten. I know that paper is cleaner, and easier for you to clean, but they all need more moisture in their lives. A moist substrate helps to keep the air more humid. A substrate is also easier for them to walk on than slippery newspaper.

It looks like you have been bitten by the tortoise bug. I really like your Aldabran tortoises.

Thank you on your advice on a substrate, I plan on using it as well in the near future

Lovely tortoises you got there. I think the air in Bangkok is high in humidity so you might not want a moist substrate.

Beautiful torts. Wont be long and the Aldaras will make the Sulcatas look tiny, LOL. Thanks for sharing

 

[dmarcus]

Thanks for sharing the photo's they all have the cute factor going on and Missy is right, the Aldabra's will make the Sulcata's look small in the future....

Congrats. Those Aldabras are definitely cute. As everyone else has stated, they do grow fast. Mine doubled in size in about a year.

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

For sure, they do grow fast!

The child in me says "I want", but the adult in me says "you live in a cold climate, you can't have."

BTW, are you planning on breeding your ploughshares? Also, are your ploughshares captive bred?

One day i hope to have many babys like you!
How are are the sulcatas and aldabras,?

 

[dustee35]

What a cute family! They really do start out as hatchlings! I have never saw them as babies just as adults. Even as babies they dwarf the sulcatas already. Nice family. Deanna
