Is a scale necessary for tortoise keeping?
I see, thank you! Thank goodness for Amazon prime hahaI say “certainly”. Using a scale for regular weight checking is so much better than guessing.
That is actually a good idea to keep track of. I never thought of it when gathering supplies. I didn't really think it was possible to overfeed a tortoise?I wouldn't say it's essential, but it can be a very helpful tool. It can help judge if your tortoise is growing at a healthy / steady rate. For example, a scale might tell you if a good increase or decrease is needed. Additionally, if your ever find your tortoise ill or about to hibernate, then a scale becomes very valuable. It's also fun and interesting in a way!
