The adults look good. Their shells are beautiful and the colours are intense. Are they full grown?
I love the way they get right in the dish to eat. They are really into their food.
What does you son think of them, now that they are here.
The hibernate if the temperature goes low. With the adults it wasn't a cold night at the delivery place so they didn't go into hibernation. With the babies last week, we did have some really cold freezing weather.
The adults will continue to keep growing. They do seem to like the food especially the cucumber. It was quite funny to watch because they eat the middle out of the slices and the one had a cucumber necklace on while he ate the other slice.
My son loves them and he has named the adults, Tommy Zoom and Smog (childrens' TV programme characters).
