Hello Tortoise Enthusiasts! I purchased my redfoot tortoise, Tank, about three months ago. When I bought him, he weighed 48 grams and had a carapace length of about 2.2 inches. I weighed him each week since and most recently, I weighed him last week and he was at his highest weight of 63 grams and about a 2.7 inch long carapace length. I felt like this growth may be a little slow for a redfoot and want to make sure he is healthy. He eats and poops everyday however, even though some days he only eats a little, so I feel it may be okay, but I just wanted some of your experienced opinions. Also, any advice on how much weight he should gain in the future would be great.
Thanks,
The owner of Tank the redfoot tortoise
