Tiny-Tiny, Baby Box Turtle, update

[Len B]

It's been 5 weeks, here is the first pic taken Sept 12 and the current pic of the little fellow,He is doing great and growing at a good rate. All the other youngsters are buried in the leaves. Yesterday I was watering the area where they are, and a few of them poked their heads up looking around to see what was going on,it was kinda cute. I thought long and hard before posting pics, hope you enjoy. Len

Oh cool, Len. The little guy is making obvious gains in size. Hope it continues! Good luck!!!!

Babies are so cute, but baby boxies are just adorable.

He's so cute Len. I wonder if he'll grow normally. I have two from the same group now that are a year old, and one is still the same size as a hatchling while the other is growing normally. They are both eating fine. Does yours eat as well as the others? The little one that I have is mostly all black with no color.

Well, Len, I'm glad that after taxing your brain you came to the correct solution. I love your pictures and I'm glad you've got an avatar again.

There's just nothing cuter than a baby box turtle...hm-m..unless its a baby orang...oh wait...a baby elephant.........

He is the only one that I am feeding, all the others are outside and if they are eating they are finding the food for themselves.Here is a pic I took a few days ago of him, you can see the yellow on the front legs,He has taken to staying in a deli cup that I use as a cricket egg hatchery,It had a lot of small crickets and some unhatched eggs in it. He found them right away, I believe he is waiting for more to come back.He seemed to like it so much I just left it in for him. As for his growth rate, if anything he may be growing to fast.
