We have some radiateds and that does sound right. What we do with all young tortoises is keep a weight chart to ensure they are gaining. As long as they are active, eating, pooping, and gaining weight things are good.

Sounds good.

Growth varies. I have yearlings that range from 125 grams to 350 grams. Weight gains have been from 5 grams to 100 grams over a 3 month period.

The biggest thing to look out for is weight loss...especially if it continues to decline.
