Hi All

My tort is a 1 Year and two months old Hermann.
She was 58g when I got her two months ago and yesterday she weight 110g.
So she has almost doubled her weight in two months.
Initially I was told she was to small for her age so I did not mind her doubling up in weight but now going forward is this the correct rate she needs to grow at?

I don't know that there's any way to judge growth. Just make sure you have the proper heating and lighting and are feeding good foods, and the tortoise will take it from there. I think there's something called the Jackson's ratio. You might see if you can find that on Google.

Hi Yvonne
I have done the ratio.
Pix one shows the ratio when I got Evo 2 months ago and second pix shows her ratio now. She went from being underweight to normal ???
