Runt

[Neal]

Runt hatched out the other day.

He's a month and a half younger than this one, check out the size difference.

 

[Jacqui]

Awww I have a soft spot for runts of any kind.

 

[Kristina]

Me too - you are more than welcome to stick that kid in a box and send him to me

 

[Torty Mom]

[ALDABRAMAN]

Beautiful little guy!

 

[CtTortoiseMom]

I love Runt!! A ton of cuteness in a tiny package.

 

[Tom]

What's his hatch weight compared to the others?

What's the grand total now?

 

[Neal]

What's his hatch weight compared to the others?

What's the grand total now?

Average has been 20 grams, he is 16. Small but dense apparently.

He is the 6th one.

 

[Tom]

That's great. Last year I had two sulcatas hatch out out 35 grams. The third and final egg hatched about two weeks later and was only 31 grams. That third one caught and passed the other in a few months and to this day is way bigger AND smoother than the other two.

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

Neal was the egg way smaller than Normal?

 

[Neal]

Yeah, about half the size of the other ones.

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

Yeah, about half the size of the other ones.

We get those also, I never considered them runts, just small. They usually all catch up real fast once they hit the sun and grazing.

[Paige Lewis]

That is one cute little runt!

 

[Badgemash]

I have a cold right now, and I think I just lost what was left of my voice yelling for Chris to come look at the incredible cuteness of him. I actually squealed at the cuteness. Can you post one of him in your hand?
