meet my 2 little foster boys, not sure of the story behind them but the bigger boy has obviously been grown too fast
here's the 1st one

and the bigger boy, notice his "skirt"

he has a long beak and his shell is very thick as you can see in this photo, he's also pyramided

both boys together

and a view from above

awww bless! how did you come to foster these little fellows?

Sue, the larger one looks soooooooo sad!!! Well at least they're in good hands now and will have the best for a few months.:lol:

Hi Sue. I don't think i could foster. I wouldn't want to give them back. Well done though. When will they be rehomed.

i'm not sure when they'll be rehomed but they'll stay with me til they go to new homes, i'm in no rush to let them go
i'm not naming them!! if i do, that means i'm attached :rolleye: and i'm not havin any more lol
one thing's for sure and that's they've got me wrapped right round their little fingers (erm i mean claws) already looking for weeds
i'll take more pics in a few days, they don't look so dry now and they've only been with me since last saturday, amazing what a little soak can do

Have these little ones seen a vet at all? If not I would be looking at different regimes of care until they move on. Just a thought

i'm not sure if they've seen a vet but i would suspect yes.
while they are with me they will be cared for in the same way as i care for my own unless they start to show any signs of lethargy, sickness etc

Bet you end up naming them!!!!!!!:innocentwhistle::innocentwhistle:

bet i won't! i've also warned Beth not to name them :innocentwhistle:

I like Oscar and Edmond as names
