Hello, I don't have a leopard tortoise ( I have a Hermann's ) but my good friend has a yearling that seems to be on the very small side. She is just at a year and weighed in at 57g. My friend has had her since she was 6 weeks old and it came from ATC and I believe it's a babcocki. How much should they weigh at a year?
Any ideas for what would cause it to be so small? She is following the recommended guidelines in feeding and housing, however we live in the Pacific NW and her enclosure is open top with an MVB bulb and CHE for night. I'm wondering if the overall temp is actually cooling than it should be? What housing is recommended for these guys so that they stay warm enough?
