Hi all, well weve now got our little hatchlings, sparkey and bolt. Weve had them nearly 2 months and found there own little personalities very amuzing. Bolt lives up to his name when having his bath at night he climbs out and then hes off whereas sparkey is more laid back. I really have picked up some good tips from this site and i will try to post some photos of the little darlings once i sus it out (not good on computors) lol 8-)

What beautiful looking babies :-)
I keep and breed Horsfields and they are definately the best, so full of character.
The only thing you have to watch with horsfields is they are pigs when it comes to food so its easy to overfeed them.
A good choice of tortoise. Enjoy ;-)

Hi Ali, yes i find sparkey seems quite happy to eat all day if we let him, I did think about planting some weeds in there home but thought not good idea, would end up sending them to slimming world lol 8-). They seem to be either staying same weight or gaining 1 gram when we weigh them weekly. Is this ok? Hopefully ive managed to upload some more photos but my 11yr old isnt here at mo so it might not work tee hee
