I'd like to introduce my new Indian Star Hatchling

[tempest979]

Her name's Chickpea and I got her from TurtleSteve. She arrived in perfect health. I've had her for about 2 weeks and she's been eating, pooping, and sleeping perfect. Though I'm a little concerned about her weight lately. She's pretty active and curious. She's finally secure enough that she doesn't retract into her shell when I pick her up and hold her in my palm. She was about 3 months old when I got her and I weighed her at 31 grams after I soaked her and she pooped. Today after 2 poops she weighs 39 grams. 8 grams in 2 weeks, maybe I should feed her a little less.

Hello. You should feed her/him as much as they want. Tortoises don’t usually have a overweight problem unless they are being fed a bad diet. To me 8 grams in 2 weeks is a very healthy weight gain.
