Hi all,
We have an Eastern Hermanns who is about 2 years old and when I do the Jackson Ratio calculations on him/her (?!) it always comes out underweight. At the moment the tortoise is hovering around 210 grams and is 110mm long, which comes out as way too light. But it seems perfectly healthy, bright eyes, active, eating, so I don't know whether to worry about this or not. I also have no idea if it's safe to hibernate, there are people who say yes and people who say no!
Anyone have any advice / resource / suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Greg
