Hello all! Here I come back again with a question, thanks to all of you for always being so helpful and understanding
I have 3 redfoot tortoises: two siblings born in easter 09, and one cherryhead mix born in april 15th 09. When I got them they were about the same size, but one of the siblings is about an inch smaller than the other one.
It wouldn't worry me so much but I notice that he's really shy, at least in comparison to the other two. I'll put them all next to a big salad while the other two race for the plate, the littlest one refuses to eat until minutes later. I always make sure he ends up eating, but the slow growth is a concern.
Is this normal in tortoises?
