One more pet……..

Last week while at work with Daddy Robert Jr. rescued this little turtle out of  a skimmer basket. He was thrilled to show everyone what he had found when he had got home, bursting through the door with our newest pet, “Dutches” (another red – eared slider turtle!) Now we have two turtles in the house,we’re not sure of the age of either of them but, by the looks of Dutches she is newly hatched…. she is no bigger than a silver dollar! It’ll be some time before we will know the gender until “she” (for right now) is about the size of Puddle Keeper.

I took some photo’s of Dutches after a few hours of being home.

Hope you enjoy! 🙂

Here she is, she is very small....

We have had Puddle Keeper since May and she has grown since then. But she is big compared to Dutches.

We plan to put Dutches and Puddle Keeper together once Dutches is old enough, but Puddle Keeper has not been with another turtle for quite some time. We’re going to see how it go’s, but until then they remain in two separate tanks.
