8 month old leopard tortoise

Beautiful
Hello and welcome. Tortoise looks great.
I give mazuri maybe 2 times a month and only a few, and he is almost 18yrs old. I personally would do more greens and Google Kapidolo Farms for organic options. They are awesome and very helpful. @Kapidolo Farms
I can't remember nor know what Ink weighed at that age. They all grow at different rates. @Tom might be able to help you.
In summer I feed mazuri about once a month. They get a lot more weeds, flowers, leaves, more natural diet in summer. I feed more mazuri in the winter months. A more natural food is better if you can but mazuri once a week or so is fine.
I started to reply, the growth lines were different. Thank you for answering me. Still a very nice looking tortoise. Also, when I got Ink I don't know if mazuri was available (dial up connection times), I used chicken feed for hens laying eggs. Another vet told me that and works great.

Keep up the soaks and it can be useful to keep a weight log to track and monitor weight gain and loss! You have a varied selection of pets.
Thanks I soak him or her every other day and it's drinking out of the water bowl also eats very well and goes to sleep for a while and goes and eats again later same process lol thanks very much for your help im wondering if it's a high white ?
Not a high white, just a normal leopard, but very attractive. 106 is small for 8-9 months old, but the growth looks good and I wouldn't worry about the size.
I would soak daily for 30-40 minutes and keep the water warm the whole time.
Mazuri should only be fed once or twice a week. Avoid grocery store greens when you can and use free weeds, leaves, flowers and succulents.
Tortoises should never live in pairs. It is a problem for your sulcatas right now, and is likely to become a bigger problem as they get older.
