Good morning, all!
Thanks to everyone's help, my baby tort is doing well and just hit the 6 month mark. Much appreciated.
My question today is about my tort's weight gain, more specifically how much weight is too much? Below is the measurements I have taken since I got him in January:
Jan 10th: 3inches long, 2.5 inches wide, no measurement for height of shell, weight of 90 grams
Jan 22nd: weight of 97 grams
February 4th: 3.2 inches in length, 2.5 inches wide, no height, weight of 109 grams
March 14th: weight of 155 grams
There is nothing 'wrong' with Skrink, as far as I can see. Healthy shell, strong limbs, adequate sun, calcium, food, water soaks daily, pooping and peeing almost daily, etc. I am just wondering if he is gaining weight too quickly, and if so what I should do to help him.
Thanks!
