With the grandkids over visiting for the weekend I took advantage of my step-son and asked him to help me lift Crush onto the scales. For the past few years I've just estimated when people wanted to know how big he is now, so I wanted an official weigh-in.
I hatched crush in 1998 so he is 20 years old this month.
He now weighs 171.4 lbs. and is still growing rapidly.
My granddaughter says Crush is her favorite of my tortoises. She like to ride him while he goes around the yard eating Mazuri or grape leaves, or roses she drops in front of him. He continues to eat contentedly all she puts down in front of him and doesn't even notice a 40 lb girl on his back.
