new baby!

[flkustom]

as some of you may know I recently purchased a redfoot baby about a week ago and on Sunday I decided my little "Frankie" needed a friend (plus I was addicted)

so today fedex brought to me my little "Jordan"






(Frankie in the back, Jordan up front)

She has a beautiful mango orange head and bright red feet

Both are from Vicki @tortoiseyard.com
Jordan is from a different mom and dad than Frankie, she is a month older than Frankie and I think they remembered each other because they took nearly seconds to get warmed up and hang out.

I gave Jordan a warm soak and fed her and Frankie and now they are both snuggled up in their hide sleeping



I cannot say enough about Vicki Hale's redfoots at tortoiseyard.com, if you're in the market to buy a baby she is simply an awesome breeder.

I really like the color on Jordan's head, she is a pretty girl!

Congrats on the new tort, looks good...

 

[LeoCraze]

Yeah, you can't just have 1 tort. I had 1 first, then was itching to get it a playing buddy.

Yeah, it is. But it gives me time to get the new area ready for it

Now I know your not suppose to pick favorites, but are you finding yourself liking one better then the other?

 

[flkustom]

I can't say I like one better than the other, they each have their own little personalities and they change and grow more and more every day.

Right now I have to say that my heart goes out more to my first tortoise that I got 2 weeks before them, she is a couple years old and came from a terrible situation. I know they came from a wonderful home, and I can only hope to match that.

My first tortoise "Taylor" has only been with us about a month, and she has made leaps and bounds from the non-social, scared girl she was. She is so outgoing now and loves seeing people, and she is soo gentle around the babies when she gets to hang out with them during the day. I am a softy for the broken ones, I've been that way with every type of animal I have owned (especially with horses)


this is my Taylor,

Who are the parents of Frankie and Jordan? Frankie looks like she may be related to mine. Three of my four Vicki babies are Ms. Slocomb and Peanut offspring.

 

[flkustom]

Yes frankie is ms slocomb and peanut offspring, Jordan is from grace and the father is either Luke or dusty

 

[goReptiles]

Should've known Frankie was a Ms. Slocomb and Peanut baby- orange head and red legs. I think One of mine is a Grace baby, but I can't remember off the top of my head.
