[GenevieveGarfoot]

Hi, i rescued a horsfield and am trying to get my head around everything. she is 433 grams. picture shows her size. was told she was roughly 4-5 years old. Any way anyone could tell me if she is healthy and any more diet ideas . thanks

Can you show a picture of the tail, that is how to tell if its a male or female. That size can be almost full grown for a male.

Also this is the best place to start: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/info-for-new-people-please-read-this-first.202363/#post-2036954

its a lot and very dense, so please ask questions.

Also since you are in the UK: There is an app called TortTable (desktop version: https://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/) which lets you look up good foods

There are quite a number of UK members on here who can also offer more localized advice

Length of tail is girl, but could still be young and not developed male characteristics yet.

@Yvonne G can predict better from the cloaca shape
