Love that you’ve been helping the terrapins for years, but still are so very excited to see and gather all the little hatchlings. 🥰 Passing your passion and compassion on to your sweet little daughters too! ❤️❤️❤️
It's so lovely watching how your girls know how to handle the babies and how they enjoy doing this. Great family you have here! And the girls are so enchanted by the baby turtles.
Hi Chris How exciting to see all of those baby wild tarapin baby turtles hatch out. And the girls were such a big help finding them. Over 50. And to see you release them back into the salt marsh was amazing. That is one huge female celcota tortoise. She will be happy with your other female. Her name is Otis? Seeing the release made me so happy. Wonderful way to start your day. Cindy
Oh my goodness, so many baby turtles not much bigger than your thumb, what a success. Love how your daughters were so helpful, adorable. Bitsy looks great, so glad you were able to take her in. Thank you Chris and Casey plus two (lol), great job!🐢👍💕
Love your daughters getting right in there and so involved! The one telling the seagulls to ‘go away’ from all the hatchlings and the other saying’Dad is freaking out’ shows just how well they truly understand what they are doing as well! Nothing like being in the family business from day one! ❤
Nice to see Bitsy so healthy and how chill she is with the change of environment, seemed completely unbothered by the strangers all around her and was patient getting out of the carrier. Which also speaks volumes to John's work, since it sounded like he kept her for the quarantine period
Really loved this presentation! Congratulations on 52 Terrapin hatchlings returning to their habitat, that's awesome! 👍 👏 Thankfully there's space for the new female tortoise at the rescue, hope she does well ❤🐢
Your family is sooooooo fricking lucky!!!! And it's all so everyday normal. What life-changing experiences for your daughters. And so normal and every day. LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
Those baby terrapins were just adorable- and you just had to find one that was charming and inquisitive so it could show off for the video! You guys do amazing work! Also- Bitsy is a stunning girl, it's really nice to see a Sulcata who was actually raised properly
They are so beautiful, so very sweet, you are a wonderful family to all of the animals. I have wanted one for years and years, but I live in the City, thank you for this, for them ... they really need you. 🤗❤✌️🇨🇦
Wow, so many baby DBTs and then that big old mama salcuta. Well, I guess she was probably never bred, but you know what I'm saying. Have a great day. Richard from Arkansas
the babies are so cute 😭 and the sulcata is gorgeous!!! do you have content explaining the most common causes of pyramiding? is it lack of sun, improper diet, combination of both?
@@GardenStateTortoise thank you for the reply!! i’ll look for the video!! can a tortoise that always has a pool of fresh water available not bathe itself enough? Is it best to actively bathe them yourself to make sure they’re hydrated?
Isn’t it important that they walk toward the water? I read somewhere that the sea turtle babies need to get their inner compass set by determining the direction of the water and how far they have to go to the water to set it into their brains where to go to lay their eggs later? They said that all the people “ saving” the babies are just confusing them so now more places do a “ supervised release” to keep safe from birds but letting the hatchlings navigate themselves.
Its ppl like you and brian barcyk chandler wildlife tyler nolan paul caffaro and many more that make a difference in education of there wonderful reptiles
Is there a better way of starting a Sunday than watching baby turtles hatch??? Nope!🐢❤️
100% agreed!!
i’m just tuning in in the afternoon, this is great🐢💚
Isnt this Wonderful?! All the brand new baby turtles! 🐢🐢🐢😍💙
@@dead2802 Right?!! It started my whole day off right!🐢
Love that you’ve been helping the terrapins for years, but still are so very excited to see and gather all the little hatchlings. 🥰 Passing your passion and compassion on to your sweet little daughters too! ❤️❤️❤️
That's the plan!
I loved their love
That was so cute! "Dad is freakin' out!" Your daughter really knows her dad. 😄
Hahah yep!
Happy Birthday, little turtles!
🎂
Love seeing the work you do. Loved seeing your girls helping you gather and release. ❤
Thanks so much!
I have never been more aware of, not just turtles, but the plights of all animals. I wish I'd known all of this 50yrs ago so I could help more. ❤
That little guy in the first scene is like "Wow, there's a lot of space out here!"
Haha yup!
So lovely to see so many diamond back terrapins hatched. I'm in Maryland so it's wonderful to see our state turtle hatching so many.
🙌🏻🐢🐢
Baby turtles and a NEW Sulcata! What a video, thank you! Bitsy is going to have a blast there!

Thank you! 😊
I dont know what is cuter the turtles or your girls?😊
Fascinating!❤🎉😊
This was great to watch!
😊
The new Sulcata is absolutely beautiful. I would love to have one but sadly don’t have the space.
New name for Otis the Second could be Odessa, Odette, O’Hara, Olenna, Olivette, Olympia, Opal, Oralia, or Orchid🤷🏻♀️😂
I'm sure y'all have seen Tiptoe from Los Angeles. He weighs 175 and is like 23 years old... 😮
Don't take offense to this but your children remind me of Dora the Explorer with those haircuts😂😂
Love it
The female Otiss. Call her Tiss
the babies are so cute 😭
and the sulcata is gorgeous!!!
do you have content explaining the most common causes of pyramiding? is it lack of sun, improper diet, combination of both?
We did a video a long time about that and it’s mainly caused by lack of hydration but diet does play a role too.
@@GardenStateTortoise thank you for the reply!! i’ll look for the video!!
can a tortoise that always has a pool of fresh water available not bathe itself enough? Is it best to actively bathe them yourself to make sure they’re hydrated?
Eww bugs went flying! But the turtles are sooo cute
Not first
🙌🏻
10:22 her name should be Ophelia 🌺 🐢
🙃
Name her Otisia 😂
😂😂
Hey here's an idea keep Otis Otis but change the tortoise Otis to notice sounds close enough I know this won't notice.
NAME YOUR TORTOISE "ODIE" FOR ODETT!
Isn’t it important that they walk toward the water?

Do the sulcatas ever dig out under those small walls and escape?
Never, we’ve done several videos about these very walks and enclosures
