Default Does everythinglook as it should please?

Hi all,

Not sure where to put this thread, but being a new owner, I was wondering if some of the more experianced members could have a look at these pictures and tell me if anything looks wrong.

I've read up on signs of poor health/conditions and believe they are both doing fine, but wanted to make sure

Timmy:




(probably not best practice to pick him up when eating, but I blame my wife for that! )


Bertie:






Thanks for looking

I'm not seeing anything obvious wrong either Splinter. But to state the obvious lots of health issues would not be visible in a photo.

They look lovely. If they are active and doing the expected things I wouldn't worry. Enjoy!

Thanks both

Yeah they are both active and seem fine.

Bertie does on times make a clicking noise, but this appears to be something some just do? (from reading online) He does not open mouth breathe and his nose is clear.
