I have a Sri Lankan which I got from a board member on here back in August and it was a few months old and 37 grams. It's now Jan, almost 6 months later, and this tortoise only weighs 53 grams. Has anyone ever seen a tortoise grow this slow? He/she has tested negative for parasites and eats fine and is active but just is not growing. I was told by someone to try some apatite stimulant to see if it may make him eat more. I'm just worried that this tortoise could be growing way to slow or should I even be concerned with this? Hey Doug, good time to jump on for some 411 on this matter.
