What should my tortoise weigh?

[Angie williams]

Hi!

I've had my baby horsfield since 24th may and he weighed 60 grams.

When should I weigh him again and how much should I expect him to put on please?

Thanks

I would wEigh him every week to two weeks and just make sure he's gaining and not losing weight then you doing good

Welcome to the forum. I weigh my little ones weekly. They all grow at their own rate. As long as the trend is gaining, he is good. Don't panic if once in a while there is no gain or a small loss, as long as overall he is gaining.

I think Jodie's answer is all you need.

I got my russian tortoise 3 1/2 months ago, and I try to weigh him once a week, but sometimes once a month. As long as your tortoise is gaining weight, or staying the same if they are pooping and eating reguly, you should be fine. Good luck and have fun!
