Sulcata

Norbert (or Norberta, too soon to tell) noticed something was out of ppace in his outdoor enclosure and decided to have a closer look!

Don't worry! It was fine! This little guy was checking out his quarantine tank when he discovered grabity. He has since graduated to a larger pond and swims and climbs gracefully. He was only a few weeks old at this time and is a captive bred diamondback terrapin.

Young sulcata tortoise, on the small size at 200 grams but has been fed a very healthy primary diet of various African grasses. Occasionally fed endives, escarole, dandelion, hibiscus leaf, various weeds and and spineless cactus. Hatched 8/30/20 in the Southeastern United States.

This little guys 2 months and 3 days old. I let him try out some hibiscus flower while he was grazing. Not recommended to feed full flowers at this age but a few nibbles doesn't hurt!
