Hi all,
I just found out that my 1yr old tortoises have been gaining too much weight over the months as they are only meant to be putting one or two grams but ours have been gaining more than that. When we first got the tortoises they both weighed 38g where as now the larger of the two has put on 124g and the smaller has gained 108g, in 6 months!! I understand that I have been feeding them too much but I was hoping you could all give me advice on how to let them grow at a steady pace and how much food I should be giving them a day. Thank you.
