I’ve had 2 tortoises for just over a month and like a lot of people I wanted to make sure they were eating enough but now I’ve realised they’re overweight. They’re both around 11 months old, I used the Jackson ratio and found one to be 0.239 (6.7cm) and the other one is 0.256 (6.2cm).
Because one is more overweight than the other I don’t know how to cut their food down incase one eats it all and leaves nothing for the other. They have time in the garden but we’re yet to build a secure hatch to leave them unattended so they don’t get too long outside. Any tips on how to help them get back down to healthy size would be appreciated. Can post pictures if needed.
