I've been keeping a growth (weight and length) chart for 7 months now. I know all torts grow at different rates so I thought I'd share it so people can compare with their own.
I live in the UK and dont get much sun. Feed her a diet of spring mix, zoo med tortoise grass land food, cactus pads (winter diet) and all of this plus weeds and flowers in the summer.
Shes on a bed of moistened coco coir and humidity is 40% hot end - 85% cool end.
I bought Milly when she was 1 year old. So she's now 17 months. And the good news is her pyramiding seems to have stopped! Hurrayyyy.
She also seems to have spurts of growth and then stops for a while - she doesnt have continuous even growth.
I attach the pic of the growth chart. (zoom in)
