Default Little 'rescue' Mix

Did you see what I did there !

I always think it is an incredible privilege to look after these little critters and I had an unexpected rescue end of October of some tiny teeny weeny ones, so thought I would share. tiniest is 20 grammes odd.

Also in the mix (not in the same TT) are the little Hermann's given by Gordon , doing well and cheeky as ever - but that's Gordon for you!

New TKs, always make sure plenty of fresh water as young tortoises perish under the hot lights and centrally heated houses if they (you) don't keep their water intake up - ideally bathe regularly, or monitor intake, spray area each day to create more humidity. I usually just plonk them in their water bowls and leave them there. Especially the rescue ones because they are traumatised usually and won't explore for a while.

Here we go !
