Video- CDT Baby Eating

[Momof4]

This is Willow who showed up next to our pool last Sept at 39g and 2".
She is now 140g and 3.5"!!
She is the sweetest little thing who loves to nap while soaking and eats like a horse!

My head exploded from the cuteness! What a sweet, happy little tortoise.
That is so cool, how you found her. Luckily you did before she went swimming!

She is precious. I love Desert tortoises, they are so personable.

Sorry, I just saw this.
He was and is so tiny that I guess he just couldn't keep up. There were a few days where it was to cold for him to go out so it grew pretty good and quick.
