382g, despite spending a fair amount of time outside this last week.

I spent some time and effort soaking down his outside enclosure before and during his outside time each day and I think it helped.

Thanks!

I put Darwin in his outside enclosure next to the fancy new tile covered with kibble and watermelon... he decided he'd prefer to mow grass around the perimeter instead.

I mean everybody enjoys a good salad before the main course!

He is getting so big!

I've started pulling a handful from the 4x4 raised bed of mixed tortoise weeds/grasses/flowers I planted this spring; the last few days I've seen him wandering out as soon as I drop the greens in his enclosure... this despite the fact that he also eats his regular diet 6 days a week.

The hibiscus yielded three big and beautiful flowers today, which he ate, along with a reptilink and some papaya and strawberry, then grasses outside.

Darwin turned a year old sometime in the last few days, and we've been celebrating since my return from Morocco.

432g...

He didn't gain much weight in the 3 weeks since I last weighed him... I didn't expect much, if any, gain as he was on light rations while I was away for 16 days.
