Babies eating

[Cindy Rademaekers]

How much should babies be eating? I just want to know an approximate quantity so I know she is eating enough. She has been here a week and is 50g.

I feed my baby a big handful in the morning and another in the late afternoon. Both times enough that there is some left over by the time I feed again, or the next morning, depending on if it's the a.m or p.m feeding

How many babies are eating that handful though?

If all is well, they will usually eat a pile as big as they are daily. Sometimes even a little more than that.

How old is she?

One baby. The first one I got 5 years ago I fed this way and the baby I have now eats this way. There is usually very little left over.

13 weeks now. She was eating pretty good last night and this morning. She's been eating since the day I got her but I wasn't sure if it was enough.

I bought the zoomed grassland tortoise food it has been great! I add it with my Leo's greens and calcium and they go crazy for it. It has also helped for my little runt ( 7 months old to finally reach over 50g )

You don't want to end up with a fat tortoise.
