Default Hatchling Weight Gain

Hi all,

I've been weighing "the boys" now and again, could someone please check these results and say if it looks about right?

They are both Marginated and seem perfectly happy/healthy, just want to make sure there is nothing obviously wrong with the numbers.

Tort: Timmy.

18/03/15 17.4G 44MM
27/03/15 19.6G
06/04/15 22.3G 47MM

Tort: Bertie.
07/03/15 21.5G
18/03/15 21.1G 46MM
27/03/15 24.3G
06/04/15 28.4G 49MM


The leghths are rough measurements but the weight should be pretty accurate.

I have been weighing them after drying them, after their bath, but before getting fresh food.

Currently feeding once per day, mix of weeds/plants they are allowed (as per tortoise table website and variations per day). Occasional soaked pre-alpin.

Thanks for reading
