I measured Tarty's length before and got a 3" measurement... Which is 76.2mm I weighed him today and he was 73g ... Which is 43g more than when I first brought him home on 17th June. (12wks ago) He was just 30g. He's gained a little each week. Has a healthy, if fussy'ish appetite. But I've just looked at the Jackson ratio whilst trying to learn about hibernation and I THINK Tarty is about half the weight he should be :-(
Should I be as worried as I am or should I be satisfied he's gaining steadily? Should I offer more food? He has a plateful and altho he rarely eats it all, I do put fresh down in the early evening if he's mushed what's left up. Plus he has 3 plants planted in his enclosure that he can reach to eat, altho I've only seen him do that twice.
Plz help
