I dont think there is a guide to how much weight gain redfoots should put on. But like most speices
I would think 2-3grms a month is a good guide. This will encourage slow smooth growth.
Only sulcata and much larger speices will put on more each month.
The only tortoises to have a true guide are hermans, ibera, graeca graeca. They have the jackson ratio.
