exciting new growth!

[kimbverly]

hello! i have had my adorable tortoise hatchling for a little over a month now and he’s grown so much!! i’m very happy because this is the first reptile i’ve ever owned. so this post is just about his increase in growth

i feed him once a day, typically after school so around 3:00 pm. i give him food a little bigger than his shell and he typically leaves leftovers that he eats the next morning while i’m away.he gets soaks almost daily too. i make sure humidity is always near 80%.

i am concerned about how i will provide weeds for him as winter approaches, i’ll probably make a different thread about that because i have lots of specific questions.

also i estimate he is around 3 months old, last time i weighed him he was 26 grams. do the growth lines look normal?

Hello!
Growth looks fine to me.
If you can give him food in the morning - it would be better so he could have plenty of fresh greens available through the day.
