Overweight?
Hi,
Just been checking my 3 tortoises on the jacksons ratio and my 10cm SCL Shelly is weighing in at 270 grams and its coming up 0.27?? Way above overweight! What the hell should i do?! I thought she was a good weight? Danny told me she should be around this weight? Thanks

Yes thats a bit high for 10cm SCL (which is around 230g), but not really by that much. A weight of 270g would be about right for a 10.7cm SCL female Hermanns. So her weight is just fine as she is probably going to do a growth spurt.

The male's weight is excellent
The females weight is good but low. I'd like to see her over 1500g and maybe closer to her target of 1565g.Danny
