Cute, but they look like tortoises to me and they need a bigger enclosure, unless that's not all of it in the pic. The water bowl needs to be lower, so it is level with the substrate. Hopefully there is lights and heat too not pictured.

Hi Nancy. Those babies are very cute! I'm afraid the water is too deep. They might fall backwards trying to climb out and land on their back in the water. Put a layer of pebbles in the bottom of the dish to make it more shallow.

The box is even too small for those two hatchlings, not mentioning a bigger tort. Secondly the bowl is good for a dog, not for torts. Plus you feed them with oxalis which is on red list of weeds.
