It has been a month since I got Clyde, who is supposed to be a 3-and-a-half-month old Russian tortoise.
I was a bit suspicious about his age when I first saw him, because he was 2.5"shell length and weighed in at 65g, as a 2-and-a-half-month old! I thought this is probably the weight for a yearling.
I took him in, feed him, bath him, try to give him everything he can dream of… One month after, I weighed him again. Now he is at 76g! 11 grams in a month? Is this normal, or am I raising a piggy? I even start wondering if Clyde is maybe a Claudette, since a girl is supposed to be bigger. What do you think?
