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! 😁🐢
