When I posted my blog on Friday about the 2 Box Turtles that had hatched in our yard on Thursday, I thought that was it. Until… there were 2 more that hatched on Friday afternoon. What a wonderful surprise! (Click on blog link to see more photos.)
They are just adorable, as you can see from the photographs. And then yesterday morning, we could see a little one crawling out of his little hole in the ground. How precious is that?! Wow! We’re now up to five little ones!
The photos show the 3 new ones and how cute they are. You can see in the last photo the 5th turtle who is climbing out of the hole where the egg has been for the past 78 days.
What an awesome experience! Anyone living on Cape Cod might have the same experience next year! What a treat!
Those eyes!
And what a trek lies ahead!
Congratulations new parents!
So much fun! They are precious!! Thank you for all your help!
Are you confident that these hatchlings are box turtles?
You can se in my blog on June 30th the female Box Turtle laying her eggs.
