I've been keeping him under an arcadia D3 100w basking bulb since the issues with my other tortoise, and have had an extra standard halogen bulb on to boost the temp on cooler days. He's been eating fine all over the summer, being kept in his table on cooler days, being out on the lawn on sunny warm days.
He is currently 4 inches long, I don't have any weighing scales in my home at the moment, I'll get some soon as possible.
Sadly, I had to have my other horsfield, Rocky, put to sleep after a long ordeal of taking him to be tube fed every day, the vet eventually gave me a free x ray which revealed he had kidney stones, and we both felt he wouldnt survive an operation to have them removed. After this, I took Sonic for a free health check up and the vet was happy with his health.
