How fast do baby tortoises grow???

[hetivernon]

Hi,

For the past 6 month we have owned two baby tortoises. They seem very healthy and are enjoying their little lives so far. But, how much should a tortoise grow every month?

On average both torties grow 10g a month... does this sound about right???

thanks

It really depends on the type of tortoise!

Hetivernon, here is a link to a chart but remember babies do grow a different rates. Take into consideration wt and length.
