Hello all! I have a question.

[tomatowide]

If I've selected wrong category, sorry for that.

the question is about weight.
I have 2 hermanns. At the time when they're first at my home, I guess they were about 150g(smaller female and bigger nale)
but now, the female is bigger than 'the male'

when I take a measure few months ago, they have 30g~40g difference.(male was more)
Now female is 50g more than male(female is about 705g)

I feed them once daily.(maybe too much...?)
vegetables, companies's feed or etc.

do they get wrong??

I chose the title of this care sheet very carefully. Are there other ways to raise babies and care for adults? Yes. Yes there are, but those ways are not as good. What follows is the BEST way, according to 30 years of research and experimentation with hundreds of babies of many species. What is...

Totally agree with Tom. Never in pairs
Post pics of the enclosure and we can help you improve whatever is needed.
Tortoises really can't over eat and get fat if fed the right foods and they have the proper room to roam.
How old are they?

Tortoises are just like people in that they each grow at their own rate, example, I weigh 115 lbs, my daughter in law weighs about 250. She is 4'11" I am 5'6". Every person is different, all tortoises are different
