Frank update

Looking good, please share his weight and other measurements

Wow he has really grown nicely with the proper car you have provided him

FRANK! Oh my goodness, he looks just fantastic. What a dreamy fella.

Well it's been a while since I've done an update. Frank which I think may be a Francine weighed in at more than 3 kilo today and 10 inches. Good thing he/she prefers grass over spring mix nowadays haha. The new growth is continuing to come in smooth.

Well it's been a while since his last update, here is frank. He's really growing now. I will get a weight tomorrow.

I can barley hold him with one hand now

Wow, you should be a proud papa!

Does the mazuri come like that or do u soak it then roll them into balls ??
Thanks tim

It comes that way and when you soak it, it expands like that. No rolling.

Very good looking tort! GOD bless.

By the way do you give him daily soaks? He's beginning to pyramid. What of humidity?

Hi Tim. I am based in the UK and buy Mazuri for my two - they absolutely adore it. I source it from a tortoise facebook group called 'torts r us selling page' as this has been the cheapest place I can find it, with the best ratings. If you have facebook, look them up. If not, let me know and I will try and get the ladies details directly for you.

At his size I wouldn't think he'd just begin to pyramid. Wouldn't that be from long ago? Seems extremely mild, I'd be happy with that.

Hi nibs
If you could as I don't do Facebook how are they sold in a tub ??
Thanks tim

He’s not beginning to Pyramid. That’s from when I first got him and didn’t know about humidity. The pyramided part is the old growth. The new growth is smooth.

No mistake, just letting u know. I’m glad I found out about humidity before it was too late. He’s 2-3 times bigger now. I’ll post a update later.
