If so...THANKS! Gawwgeous pix....just goes to show ya bunches of legumes, (clover, alfalfa, others) etc. do not do these animals ANY favors..and more is NOT necessarily better! (Yes, I am preaching..but seeing what I have, I know what I'm sayin' here.)
This tortoise has good, S-L-O-W, even growth...and that is what to aim for.
A tortoise that is going to weigh over 100 lbs at adult age needs to build strong bone and muscle just top hold itself up properly, to support that amount of weight. Weak limbs and spongy or brittle bones from rapid growth will be the demise of many large tortoises.
Looks like you are helping this tortoise to do just that. If this post wasn't intended for me...my apologies, but I had to comment anyway!
Annie :-)
: Here is a pic of my sulcata that is over 4 years old and only weighs 1.5 pounds and is 5 3/4 inches.
