It's like watching water boil, it never seems to
happen! If you had a scale you would have some
numbers to tell you what your eyes have a hard
time doing because you see the torts daily.
(I still swear mine hardly grows and he went
from 78 grams Oct 99 to 1932 grams last month.)
Maybe I'll work on my growth chart and update it,
since I have the numbers, just haven't got my
hubby to do it yet. Do they have UV lights??
Can you get them some graze mix growing in shallow
dishes that you can place in the enclosure??
Try to get them something they can stay outside
in during the daytime at least.

Again, get you a digital postal scale at an
office supply store and weigh them weekly and
keep track of it, it helps!

Are you giving them calcium supplement - cuttlebone?

I bet they are growing, it's just hard to see.:)
