Default 140g weight gain in 6 Days

I weighed Squirt 02/02/2011 and she weighed 1616g just weighed her again and she's now 1756g.....so she's put on 140g in less that a week.

Surely this isn't normal even for a Leopard Tortoise.

Just hope it's some poop she's stored

She's eating but not as much as she normally does and she has been more active than she normally is for the past couple days

Just weighed her

and she's now 1687g

So her Poop & Pee must have weighed about 69g?

But she still put on about 71g in about a week!
