Hello

How fast should baby leopard tort be growing?

I brought her in Feb. this year, and there was an error in her weight at the time. I guess it's about 50g

She took many antibiotics from Feb. to mid-May because of protozoa, bacteria problems

The medi has stopped completely since mid-May. I give mazuri ls more than 3 times a week. And from today, I started using Nutribac again

She eats 4 to 6 times a day. No protozoa was found in her, and her poop looks fine


Hers's her growth.
Apr 3 - 63g / May 31 - 66g / June 12 - 69g

I know that not all torts grow at the same rate. But I think she's too slow.So I'm a little worried. The environment, such as temp and humidity, is maintained as advised by Tom and other veterans.

Update

It's slow, but I won't worry anymore.

I gave her various greens and flowers, grasses with mazuri ls and grassland.

And by the end of last month, i added mazuri original and expected it to bring more faster growth

Any sort of health problem slows the growth of a baby tremendously. Keep up the good work, and this tortoise will begin growing at a more normal rate as time passes and health increases. The new growth looks great.

My English is bad, and I don't have much experience yet

I've shared what I've learned here with people in South Korea, but there are still many people who think that a humid and closed chamber will cause RI

I also told them about you and some people agreed with you(I'm sure there are people who came here before me and got some information)

It will take a long time for many people to change their minds

If my leopard grows well, it will help prove that your caresheet is excellent
