There isn't any more gravel. I noticed they were chewing on it so I went out and got some sand to put in their tank.

They look good, welcome to the site! Has Squirt been eating? He looks a little bit smaller.

Funny, so many Dude and Squirts. My neice named mine the same because of Finding Nemo being popular at the time. Now they are both female so I guess is Dudette and Squirtalina

Squirt has been eating. We got squirt and dude from some lady a few days ago and I don't think she was taking good care of them. Both of their shells are really dull and almost dirty looking. Squirts shell is also isn't very hard towards her rear. But I don't know if its because shes a hatching or if its because the lady didn't take care of them.

There's a lot of Donatello's too. Lol. I named them Squirt and Dude because of Finding Nemo. Hopefully we don't have to change their names. If Donatello is a girl we'll change his name to Donatella. =]

It's normal for a hatchling's shell to be slightly pliable. Make sure they get plenty of UVB, basking and calcium. If they are fed together, you'd want to keep an eye on them and make sure they get equal shares.

They get a lot of UVB and basking time. And I have a calcium bone in their tank. I had to separate Dude and Squirt from Donny today when I gave them a worm. Donny wanted all of them to himself. Lol. And Squirt is still a little small to eat them whole, so I cut one up for her.
