Dan do you know of any reason why Willow is very small for her age, compared to Cavalli who is a year younger?

It's very possible when Willow was a hatchling, she as getting dehydrated over night. This is very easy for a hatchling that's not in a humid environment over night. When this happens for a period of time it compromises the liver and kidneys so sadly they don't work like they should, absorbing/breaking down nutrients and eliminating wastes. This very much effect a tortoises growth/growth rate.

Ohhhh poor Willow, I wonder if that's what it's been. Cavalli has grown a lot since we got her as a hatchling but Willow not so much so
 thanks Danny.
