Default Do these look nice and healthy for stars?

Hi I have the chance to buy these stars just wondering if everyone thinks they look ok? They are male and female

They look fine, but how they are kept and for how long would be a better guide.
As their health is more important than how they look:0)
Knowing a little history about them, can make all the difference:0)

They do look lovely Cheryl, definitely make sure you're certain, and that the care sounds correct. How exciting!

The guy has had them for 8 years since they were the size of a £2 coin, they have been kept in a table. He is selling them because he does not have the time to care for them anymore. Hopefully I will be getting them next week :0) I have a very lovely hubby :0) They are goin gto be an early birthday present, I am very excited about it and will put pictures once they are here and settled as long as all goes to plan and I can get them. x

Yes I have had stars before I also had redfoots and I had to sell them because When I got ill I could not cope it was a huge mistake and I have really missed having them so lucky to be getting some more Not going to get redfoots again I do miss them but they are too big when fully grown.
