Torty is growing up!

[samstar]

I'm so happy after weighing Torty who weighed in at 80-85 grams for the past one month. Today I weighed him after a week and he is now about 95 grams.
Do Star Tortoises have growth spurts?

They do seem to... well mine do.... be prepared for Torty to lose a little the next time he grows... mine seem to have a patterns of doing this...

Hi samstar,

how do you determine healthy is a ST according to its weight?
are there any close relation and guideline?

thanks in advance for your reply. =)

Not sure about others but mines nearly 3 inches in length which is about the correct weight
