Weigh day :-)

[jesst]

So every sunday is weigh day for my torts....we have had artax, who I think we are changing her name but have not thought of a good one yet, since 3/6/12. When shr arrived she weighed 38g and sunday she weighed in at 45g!! She is just a little porker
Is this weight gain too much for her?

Sounds positive to me....however, I am no pro on this so wait around and see what the others think...

sounds good, from the sound of it, she is a porker! lol

I'd so much rather have a "porker", then one who doesn't eat well nor grow well.

Stop worrying!!

I am not an EXPERT. Just another guy with few Leopards.
Here is what I found regarding Leopard's:
"At birth, hatchling leopard tortoises weigh 35-45 grams, increasing in weight by about 3 grams every two to three weeks. A well-fed hatchling can grow in excess of 5 to 6 grams every two to three weeks. A very well-maintained hatchling can grow 3 to 4 inches per year."

Enjoy! And good luck!

Hi "JustNobody":

won't you take a few moments to start a new thread in the "introductions" section and tell us a bit about yourself?
