Meet Pipsqueak: The Tiny Turtle Who Won’t Grow 

She's so adorable though, trying to eat your fingers! You go girl, dream big!

Good to see Pipsqueak's doing well and it's nice that you're sounding quite upbeat again after the devastating recent loss of your other terrapins. 💖💖

The cutest turtleliest ever..

i love her soo much and i dont think she knows how lucky she is to have you as her owner. watching her flip over was the most heartwarming thing ive seen in a while.

so glad im not the only one going through this, have a baby box turtle runt who’s not grown much for the 2 years ive had them and their other sibling (who’s growing just fine) hang in there, eventually there will be a breakthrough

Pipsqueak is so lucky she has you! It’s so obvious how much you love your turts.

I love her she already seems to have a personality too cute ❤️

Heard of cute as a button, now I've seen it in real life. 🐢❤️

Man.. we were almost 1st! 😢 your the turtle GOAT Dan! Thanks for always being you and being amazing. Hurry and come down to Florida and let’s link up!

Good luck little Pipsqueak! And a happy life to you. Glad you're eating better now, more active, and generally improving.

She is such a little cutie! Especially when she's acting like a Hungry Hungry Hippo with the pellets. The relief that comes from an animal finally eating normally is incredible.

Pipsqueak is gorgeous!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks Dan, so much love for your turtle friends and it shows. Keep posting quality content and I’m sure she’ll get as big as ever

PIPSQUEAK!!She has great story forming!!

Oh my gosh I love pipsqueak❤

Love her!!! So jealous. 😍👍😁💕🐢💕🎉

Pipsqueak is soo lovely ❤ I really laughed when she bit your finger and did a frontflip into the tank again 😂😂

Lil Pipsqueak is absolutely adorable amazing beautiful love her ❤️❤️💜💜🙏🙏

Love her! Can't wait to follow her journey. HAPPY EASTER 🐣

That little girl is precious and I want her tiny self here with me! She needs rubs and cuddles ❤

even just looking at pipsqueek makes my day, shes so damn cute bro

I have a river cooter that was the same way; today it’s siblings are adult size and this one is still only about 6”

I LOVE pipsqueak! Her colors are so pretty and shes so sassy!

Pipsqueak is a cutie!❤

Pipsqueak is absolutely cute 🥰 she’s so adorable 🇦🇺💜

Look at her showing her little fiesty side 😂😂😂 she said i bite and i attack while i do some ninja turtle move 😂😂😂😂

She's so adorable 😊 I wish turtles would stay little, they are so precious.

She so cute , hope she grows to ms.bean size

So sweet. Shows the strength of Danpower

She's adorable

That flip woooah!! 😎

So adorable!! She’s a show-er not a grower! 😋

So amazing on the 12th I found 4 hatchling painted turtles when we were cutting down trees. I have them in a 50 gal shallow pond with 4 emerald, 4 orange laser, 4 skunk, and 4 pulcher corydora, 2 giant koi Betta 1 male 1 female, 2 male blue dwarf gourami and a 4'' black ghost knife fish.

All your terrapins are so adorable, even the normal sized ones! Your turtle info is solid and helpful, makes me want to get a terrapin.

Awe poor little thing. pipsqueak has gorgeous patterns though 🥰 really hope its gonna grow 😊

Praying for her.....you are doing everything you can ..!!🦋🤎

I want a tiny turt like this one

Pipsqueak ❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful

She wants to eat on daddy's hands. So cute.

Who knows, maybe this will be the start of super dwarf terrapins.

She is adorable❤🐢

Literally obsessed with pipsqueak❤

I'm not a turtle nerd... Yet. But I'm subbed for more Pipsqueak content!!✌️

I’m so happy for pip! She’s my absolute favorite. She’s a beautiful little one and I just relate to her. We may be small but we are strong and just need our own time to figure out this living thing. ❤

I love The Pip! So happy she's getting stronger. My turtle tries to eat bubbles all the time

So cute

As soon as I saw Pipsqueack do a backflip, I liked the video and laughed😂

My God this is the CUTEST thing Ever🎉 Pipsqueak is like me. I was always the smallest among my peers. Everyone always asked me if I was sick, Pediatricians thought I was 4 years younger than I was. Yes now that I am 32 yrs old I appreciate that I suppose.. I didn't get above 90 lbs until 20 yrs old but my environment in my adolescence was not for thriving 😅

You should breed her and make a miniature colony of turtles, they might be berry for beginners.

Hi Dan, so much love for your turtles❤️ I'm a big fan of yours, I hope I can get a chance to have one of your adorable turtle😊

Def want her healthy. Grow big, pipsqueak!

Too Too Cute 😊

Dan, thank you for your hard work, we all appreciate it. Your an amazing, wonderful, incredible, and awesome person. ☺️😊😄😃🤩😍

Hey dan nice that u upload a new vid! how are ur spotted turtles doin? Any Updates u still got them?

I'm having the same problem. I have 4 CBT and one of them just isn't growing. I feed him or her separately in case she feels intimated by the other turtles. I will just keep trying.! Thanks dan for the vids!

Do turtles ever learn that they're pellets aren't bugs trying to get away and they don't have to bite at them as quickly as they do? 🤣

40 seconds in I was like are you trying to argue that pipsqueak is like I don’t want to eat in the wild I wouldn’t even be here 😒🙄 lol

Omggg shes even smaller than i thought, im so in love 😍 Hope ur holding up ok, after recent events?? I empathise, these things are hard. As said before, COPPER TAPE (snail 🐌/slug tape) is really useful. U just stick it on the rims of ur tubs etc, as said i use it for my plant pots and it works a dream. Not sure if copper is ok for turtles, but if it is, this maybe a helpful aid and also help with peace of mind etc. Have a wonderful day 😀 🌷🌴🌷🌸🌷🌴🌷

Have you considered the possibility of dwarfism? It is rare but not unheard of in turtles and terrapins.

I love your videos ❤

Huh. I wonder if turtles can do the same thing as some frogs/toads. They can release a hormone to stop their siblings from growing, so they can either not compete for food or become food.

❤❤❤❤

More, please.

I got 4 baby turtles back in December and only one has shown any real growth. I'm hoping the others are just slow to grow.

I got a runt that is having a hard time going it got sick idk if it was the cold water from pet store or what so i quarantined it and kept it frequently changed water with a humid environment, and I am please to announce Sisu the runt is much better no tilt and actively being a active yellow bellied slider and has been displaying much better behavior for over 2 weeks now so Sisu will return to the big tank with their mate.

Pipsqueak? Now watch her(?)grow.

My turtle is the same way, but not as small. Taking a while to grow.

Pipsqueak is a teenage mutant ninja turtle she did a flip like wow

You are doing so good with her glad to see her eating with luck this will kick start her growth. But I have a question we see dwarfism In many animals could she have it?

Heyyyy i found ur channel abt a week ago and I happened to just rescue two baby red eared sliders. They’re extremely small and I’m wondering about diet and health and water volume. I’m quite new to turtles so anything helps. Basking area is 94-96 water is 76-80 with a filter in a 27 gal bin trying to be fed pellets and pieces of shrimp

I have one little concentric who ate and ate and ate lol but just wouldn’t grow.After about 8 months he started growling like a weed

You should just use UVB all of the time so you don't have growth issues

I had the opposite problem!! Mine are huge and I’m scared i probably unknowingly overfed them. Would love any of your expertise advice on any of my turt vids if u ever have time. Sry I’m annoying.

Hey Dan! Quick question, where do we get information when you have turtles available? Is it your patreon or other social medias? Would love to subscribe!

Thanks for the update. So I guess there is no future in your "Dan the Turtle man's Dwarf Diamond Back terrapin" (Patent pending) business plan. Besides being terribly illegal per the FDA regulations and your recent tragedy, it would have made a great April Fool's prank.

I have a question, why don’t you give your baby terrapins a proper basking area?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@DanTheTurtleMan so 7 months in how is little pip doing?

Do you think that maybe she has some sort of dwarfism or it is more luck of the draw of genetics?

Have you considered training your turtles not to associate you with food? It's an important thing to train most reptiles that could be more dangerous then these. But it also makes them behave more natural with you as they can consider you a friend instead of food.

youtube.com/@HelpTurtleLife This channel seems to be abusing the same red eared slider. Correct me if I'm wrong but this channel seems like turtle abuse.

Didn't you have another terrapin that wasn't growing and was stayinh relatively small contrast to the others you have, back a couple years ago? What ever happen to it.
