Baby tortoises hatching out of the ground 🐢 (again!)

It’s that time of the year where the baby tortoises are starting to hatch out!! Here in Arizona it’s one of the only places where people have success by letting these guys hatch naturally. And from my experience, you never want to dig them up once you see the first tortoise, you want to let them do their thing and come up with the soft ground whenever it starts to rain during the monsoon season. When they come out of the ground, they seem to be much more bulkier and much more active than the average incubated tortoise. 🐢☀️

But a lot of people ask me, “What do you do with the babies?”
I try to keep as many babies as I can, but unfortunately I’m not able to keep every single one with the amount of babies they have. So after I make sure they’re 100% healthy and ready, I let some go to good homes 🐢☀️
I like to give them about a month so they can get used to a routine of eating, soaking/drinking, and basking under the sun. I also try to send them in pairs so they aren’t alone! But before you go out and buy a Sulcata Tortoise or any tortoise in general, you need to be prepared for what you are getting yourself into. These guys get very large and need lots of space. They thrive in the sunny and dry conditions and can live up to 150 years!! If you are educated and interested in rehoming one of these babies here, you can head over to my website and sign up as a member. When they are ready to go to new homes, you will instantly receive an email that they are ready. Be sure to check out my tiktok and youtube for TONS of content with the babies and daily routines! 😁🐢

It's crazy how small the babies are, but they can grow to be giants.

What I was told as a kid: “Tortoises never need water.”

I'll never get over the size difference between babies and the adults.

It’s crazy how the babies grow into giant melon chomping versions of themselves. I love turtles

[RandomBubble]

Everything about this video is adorable. “Extra scutes*”, “most babies”, “ some babies”, the big tortoise eating watermelon, the baby on the big shell, and the daily soaks. Beautiful video

Tortoises just look wise, maybe it's just my childhood of the last airbender.

THE SIZE DIFFERENCE WITH THE BABY ON THE ADULT- THAT WAS SO CUTE OH MY GOD

[NickolasGreenOutdoors]

She’s just munchin on watermelon. I have always wanted a tortoise but I know it would outlive me

[exilestudios]

Man if only the Galapagos tortoises had someone like you around to make sure their babies lived then maybe they wouldn't be so near extinction.

[endoleon]

I can't imagine how those tini tiny cookies grow into such large creatures it's amazing

[pokeguy]

I love how every time a baby tortoise is put next to an adult, the adult just looks at the baby like "how in the f are you so smol"
