GROWTH RATE

[Marci]

Hello, I received my leopard hatchlings on Oct. 29th and since then I have been weighing them periodically. They are about 2 1/2 months old. For all you experts out there, does this growth rate seem ok? First one was 34.5 grams and is now 66.1. The second one was 41.1 grams and is now 81.3. Seem good?

Steady growth is what you're looking for. If the weight is going up steadily there's nothing to worry about. It's different for every individual tortoise.

Are they separate or together? If together you may start seeing the bigger of the two continue getting bigger and the other will start falling behind.

And yes those are nice and steady growth rates
