Photos of Dale and Ruby

[Candy]

This is Dale's and Ruby's first encounter with each other

This is Dale smelling Ruby

And this is proud Noah. He says Ruby is his tortoise and he's been feeding and taking care of her so that's fine with me. This one really lets you see how little she is

And here's three of Ruby on the run

This is one of my favorite pictures of Ruby, she's got the biggest eyes

And one more

I hope you enjoyed seeing Ruby and Dale.

Those are just toooooo cute!

They look so purposeful, like they're on a mission...

If Ruby has good judgment, she will put Dale at the top of her list. He really has the most striking cherryhead face I have seen on this forum.

Your "favorite" made me laugh. Ruby has herself all stretched out and posed like a thoroughbred showing off her confirmation!

Thanks for the photos! And thanks, Noah, for establishing yourself as the caretaker of your sweet little charge! I hope you enjoy her.

We finally get to see them together. Ruby looks so small next to Dale. Imagine if she turns out to be a female, and we get to see little Ruby's and Dale's in the future. What beauties they will be!

Thanks I think they are adorable myself. Thank you for the compliment on Dale I too think he is a very good looking Cherryhead. He does have a lot of red. I'm hoping Ruby will get some more red on the top of her head like Dale has, but I don't know how that works. Noah is doing quite well at taking care of her. Of course I help because after all he is only 10 years old and she's only a baby. I love to watch her explore her enclosure, she comes out and walks around quite a bit. Anyway thanks again I'm glad that you liked the pictures.

Thank you Terry. It would be wonderful if she turns out to be a female. I wasn't sure if I wanted to get another one, but I love having two of them.

Aww Candy, Ruby is adorable She is just sooo cute, I love her eyes and I love the expression on her face, she looks really smart . I did not know she was sooo little . They are so cute together, Dale is a real cutie as usual, it seems like he is very interesting in knowing "Who is this little tortoise that everyone here call Ruby". Your son Noah looks very proud to be with "his tortoise" Sooo cute.

Thanks Jordan. Ruby just had her breakfast and Dale's eating his now. She is a little piggy thank goodness. We just love to watch her eat and walk around her enclosure. She's doing great.

Awww they're both so cute! I can't believe Dale is so BIG! Ruby looks so small compared to him Funny, he looked more interested in Ruby than his breakfast!

 

[Candy]

Typical male.

 

[ChiKat]

Ruby really does have the most gorgeous big eyes! What a pretty little girl I can't get over how tiny and cute she is
And of course Dale is extremely handsome, as usual!!

 

[Candy]

Thank you Katie we think so too. I put some plants in Ruby's enclosure today, but have to take them out because she thought that they were food and was going to eat them.

These are great pictures. After seeing these, I have a question: Is it ok for me to get her our of her viv? I was told to leave her alone for a bit.... how long is that? I would really like to have her roam around a little

In my opinion, no tortoise should be allowed to roam around a bit. They belong first of all outside, and secondly, if outside isn't possible, in their habitat. Besides the floor being too cold for a cold-blooded animal, there are too many things to get into trouble with or to eat on the floor. I'm sure those pictures were just posed for the camera. Candy's tortoises live in their tort tables.
