Well all I can say is the tortoise we call "SKULLHEAD" appears to be thriving. As you can see he is firming up, eating and mixing in well with others. I have never seen in 12 years of breeding redfoots a hatchling so soft. As the picture below indicates it is now approx. 70% firmer then when it first hatched. To go from a jello like consistency to it's current pretty firm state is what I call a "Miracle of Nature". Thanks all who saw the original shots below and were pulling for the little fellow......Richard
