My redfoot is exactly 9" and I just went and weighed him. He's 2200 grams or just about 5Lbs.

So mine is 9 inches and only 3 pounds.
He isn't eating good. He won't eat much. I have tried every vegetable and fruit that is on the list that he can have. I even grow flowers that he can eat. And he doesn't eat much of anything. I don't know what to do.

They all grow at different rates. How long have you had the tortoise?

I got my tortoise to eat really good by dicing up his greens and mixing them with mazuri tortoise diet. He loves that stuff. He pooped more and now I hope he keeps eating.

This is a good trick. Tortoises don't like change and they will sulk. That's more than likely what's going on. Your tortoise is still settling in.
