Yes they are Tunisians, a little too small to sec, but at this stage both female
As has been said they are delicate tortoises and they must not be hibernated. The growth is looking ok at the moment, are you supplementing with nutrabol and limestone flour? The setup looks good, it seems you are doing a good job with these guys ![]()

I have tunisians, very delicate tortoises, they can get runny nose at the drop of a hat. They need to be kept very warm 32c 35c under heat lamp and 18-20c in cool spots.
No fruit what so ever for these guys, lots of weeds and flowers.

Thanks everyone!
Ive tried to make their table as interesting as possible. I read something on shelled warriers website about breaking up the line of slight across the table so they have to walk and look behind things. They seem happy enough anyway. I hoped we'd have a girl and a boy, weve named them Jack and Vera. How much should they be eating a day? They seem to never stop eating and however much we put in they demolish. I thought since they're growing they need loads of food, but am i feeding too much? Thanks again, Sammy |

as a guide i feed my torts a leafy jacket.just enough to cover the shells..for some torts this is to little for others to much.
they should be gaining 2-4g of weight a month, if its alot more u need to drastically cut the amount of food given, and if not enough then increase the amount given hth
