Hello,
I'm new here and from last week I have a tortoise Aya. I feed her good healthy diet but she likes to eat a lot. I found this weight formula and checked her to make sure if she's not overweight but according my math it seems that she is 200 g too skiny which she doesn't seem too. Could you help me out. My calculations below:
That's formula I found: Length X width X height X 0.57 (in mm) = target weight in grams.
she is:
width: 4,25 in = 108 mm
height: 2,9 in = 73 mm
length: 4,5 in = 114 mm
so my math: 108*73*114*0.57= 512 g which seems a lot
She is 327 g so 185 g less, but she looks healthy and strong.
Can you please help me out here?
Also I've heard that you should feed your torts only 3 times a week? Is that true?
