I’m starting to see a pattern here with my baby Hermann...
I weigh her most days, and while she has gained 8g in the 4+weeks she has been here, most days there is no weight gain, or just a 1g difference.
Her diet is a rotation of plantain, mulberry, chicory, grape, clover with some extra dried fresh flowers like calendula, chamomille...
Then there is Mazuri day!
Once a week I give her one whole pellet (she is 11/12 weeks old) mixed with equal part chopped up Testudo seed mix leaves. She will eat anywhere between half of it to the whole pile.
The next day her weight will have increased by as much as 4g! Then after her soak and two to three poops, she’ll have lost 2g.
Making her weekly weight gain about 2g.
Are those fluctuations too extreme? Am I giving her too much Mazuri?
