We have some radiateds and that does sound right. What we do with all young tortoises is keep a weight chart to ensure they are gaining. As long as they are active, eating, pooping, and gaining weight things are good.

She weighed in at 340 grams today. 20 grams in 3 months.

Sounds good.

Growth varies. I have yearlings that range from 125 grams to 350 grams. Weight gains have been from 5 grams to 100 grams over a 3 month period.

The biggest thing to look out for is weight loss...especially if it continues to decline.

Can you belief it, she weighed in at 360 grams today!
