Weight
What guidelines should I follow with regards to the size and weight of my Horsfield torts?
I haven't weighed them yet or measured them

i find it very helpful to weigh all of my animals once a week and to measure them for growth once a month. this means that you have a consistant reference point in the event of any illness. so if an animal is having constant healthy weight gain that suddenly stops over a few weeks its an early sign to watch for illness. you can get 0.1 g digital scales from ebay and the standard 1g scales from asda and the like.
