My eight month old red footed tortoise has been recovering from a respiratory infection that occurred at the end of May. He wasn't eating well for a while but his appetite gradually picked up over the last couple months. in the last month he had been gaining about 4 grams of weight a week. I weighed him today and he has gained 9 grams of weight in a week. Is that too much? I feed him daily a mixture of about 70% greens 20% vegetables and 10% fruit. He picks and chooses what he wants and I leave the food in there for the day. He is also getting some dried high quality grain free dog food once a week.
