Remington's growth has suddenly gone from a rather steady pace to a quick onset of weight. I presumed she would actually slow down during winter months, but that hasn't been the case at all.
She just hit 6 months a few days ago and is weighing in at 229 grams. That's an 18 gram jump in 6 days! Her previous measurement showed a weight gain of 31 grams in 13 days.
The only things I've changed are I bumped her thermostat up 2 degrees, changed from coco coir to orchid bark and she got a change in grazing diet when the summer weeds died off and the winter weeds sprouted in her outdoor pen.
So is the sudden growth spurt just normal for a 6 month old tort or does it have more to do with the dietary change?
