Weight

[laurenh]

Not sure if I am doing in wrong but have just used a jacksons ratio graph to check my hermanns weight...this states 3 of my 4 are underweight...they eat weeds and eat plenty. How can I up their weights??

Thank you

How 'underweight' are they? Do you feed Mazuri at all?

50-100g it appears.

They do eat mazuri but not much, I try to feed them weeds as much as I can.

They are all happy seem healthy are active and pooing.

Im hoping im not reading the graph properly or maybe the fact its colder here now and they dont go outside

I wouldn't worry about that. Tortoises come in many sizes and shapes and that formula cannot account for every difference. Just weigh yours periodically and track each individuals progress looking for steady gains over time.

Brilliant thank you. They are all very healthy and eat like they've never been fed!! X
