Horsefield tortoise weight

[Michellegallon]

Hi, my horsefield weighs 164g. She is getting heavier each time I weigh her but by very small amounts. She is around 2 years old. I have her her for 1 year and 1 month and she was around 1 when we got her I was told. Does this weight seem ok as I think she is still very small. We have another tort a hermanns who is the same age we belive but weighs 280g and is bigger in size. I am just looking for advice on if these weights seem ok?

They all grow at different rates and for a wide variety of reasons. Yours is within the realm of "normal".

Examine these to make sure you aren't doing anything "wrong", and if all is good, then you might just have a slower grower.
