Tiny weight loss - is this normal?
Posted: 15/01/2011 by Tarkie

Hi all,

I have just weighed Tarkie for the first time and he's lost only 6g. He's a 5 year old Horsfield, he went into the fridge 8 weeks ago weighing 586g. I'm really surprised as I've been getting ready to get him out in case he'd lost a lot. This is only 1%.

Does this sound right? He looks in good shape, so I am thinking I'll give him a few more weeks. Any thoughts or opinions would be good.

Hope everyone's torts are ok!

Sarah

Yes Sarah, sounds good, he should be ok for a few more weeks, just keep your eye on him as you are, well done,
