Hi, I have 4 Testudo Hermanni Hercegovinensis from 2011. Their growth is very different. I wonder if there is a problem with the slow growers or the fast growers or if they really are all Testudo Hermanni Hercegovinensis.
From Mei 2012 to August 2014 they went from:
26 g to 156 g (0,92 oz tot 5,50 oz)
30 g to 90 g (1,06 oz to 3,17 oz)
31 g to 59 g (1,09 oz to 2,08 oz)
23 g to 55 g (0,81 oz to 1,94 oz)
This means the second smallest in Mei 2012 is now more than 5 times heavier and the largest did even not double her weight. The heaviest now went last year at first in hibernation and did the same this year. The one which even did not double her weight was the last to go into hibernation and was the first to come out in spring. She likes to stay outside even if the weather is bad and cold.
So is this just a normal variation or is there a problem or are some of them another (maybe larger) kind of Greek tortoises. Thanks a lot for helping me out with this.
