Hi everyone,
I’ve been looking into how much a yearling leopard tortoise should weigh again and I’m having some concerns. My babcocki leopard tortoise Sumo is allegedly 1 year and 6 months old but he is only 131 grams. Everywhere I’ve been looking has been saying a yearling should weigh like 300 grams. When I got Sumo in June 2024 ( about 3 months ago) he weighed 86 grams so yes there has been quite some growth (45 grams) but I can’t help but be worried because I have been through a similar situation to this before so I have a lot paranoia around how much Sumo is fed daily and weighs. Also he is 4.5 inches long and 4.88 inches wide (I’m not sure I’m measuring the width right). He is very active I see him in different areas of his 6x3 feet enclosure multiple times a day and eats at least two large meals daily with as much variety as I can get my hands on. If anyone has any advice on this or if his weight could be normal and I’m just overly concerned please let me know! This little guy is seriously my whole life <3
(This is his new enrichment toy I got him and he loves it!)
