Hi Everyone!
I've had a leopard tortoise for around 2 years now and I wasn't sure what age it was when I first got her so I'll assume my tortoise is around 2-3 years old. I have started weighing her ( I know I am very late to this but I didn't educate myself thoroughly enough from the beginning ) and measuring her. She is 7 cm long, 4.5 cm wide and 5.5 cm tall (measured from the side of the tortoise and not directly on the shell) and she weighs 77.9g... I have read other threads and saw that others' tortoises are around 500-600g at around the same age.... If she is underweight.. How can I help her gain weight? I'm just worried she might be "fat" because she's kind of wrinkly....
Thanks!
