Hi guys,

This is pee wee.

I've had him a year and 4 months.

Do you think the growth looks ok?

Thank you

Pee wee is beautiful. My Horsfields all have those growth marks every year and are fine. They eat what they want when they want. I don't restrict food and none of them are too big or too small...just ok and healthy tortoises. They are little piggies though Horsfields. lovely photos too, CB

Hi there

I don't keep this species but Pee-Wee is looking great to me!

Pee wee looks so cute!

My torts are a very good weight, perhaps on the larger side!

I found this forum by trying to obtain more information about the right weight for their size/age. I found it really useful reading through the discussion on this, so perhaps you may wish to read this.

I think the important thing is to follow all the good advice on feeding and again there is much advice on weeds and flowers.

Good luck
Jan

Again, I don't have Horsfields but Pee-Wee has great smooth growth as far as I can see. I don't think you have any need to be concerned, you're doing a really good job.
