Any advice welcome please. I've had my juvenile hermanns since Feb this year. They were bred locally, hatched Oct last year but their breeder did not hibernate them, so this will be their first hibernation. I hibernate my adult tortoise using the box method but plan to use a fridge for the little ones.
Is there a Jackson ratio chart for juveniles? (I've tried the link to tiny tortoises but this doesn't work). I am starting a three week wind down but want to be sure their weight is OK.
I know they are large for their age (they were already large when I got them and I have tried to moderate their growth over the summer).
Anyway, their measurements today are as follows:
Custard: 87mm, 157g.
Roobarb: 89mm, 147g.
They appear perfectly healthy, although less active now it is cooler. I have stopped feeding today and plan to follow the very helpful wind down guidance I've found on this site.
Can anyone advise me whether this sounds OK please?
Many thanks,
Chris
