Baby Tortoises

[mantiscraze]

I'm tortoise crazed right now. I got myself two leopard tortoises and 1 red footed tortoise. They are really cute at this age. Before you get one, make sure you can take good care of them. I'm lucky to live in a climate where I can house them outside once they get big. Unlike mantids, torts can outlast you.

Thanks everyone! Yeah, they are very cute as babies, that's why a lot of people go out and buy them, especially baby sulcatas, since they are the least expensive. However, these are large tortoises, and it's sad when they grow up and owners don't have the means or will to take proper care of them.

They are grazers, but love to have spring mix as a treat, especially this young
