Hey everybody I was just wondering what is the typical weight of a 6 month old Hermanns? I read that on average they grow 2-3 grams a month. I trust everyone on here's advice how true do yall think that is?
A tort's weight varies from day to day and throughout the day just like yours does. A drink, a meal or a poop can make a massive difference to the weight of a small tort!
Weigh your tort fortnightly at most, monthly will do, and try to do at the same time if day each time for consistency. I like to weigh straight after the morning soak.
I've got 3 year old hermann's, all were at 19 grams when i got them, now one is ~150 grams, one is ~100 grams, and one is ~50 grams.
The growth does vary by quite a bit. What you should be worried about is consistent growth, and as the hatchling grows, he will gain weight faster.
If he is eating, pooping, and gaining weight, even a little at a time, then all is well.
