Food/weight ratio??
Hello,
I was wondering, is there a food to weight ratio, so if they are a certain weight, is there a certain weight or amount to feed them? I am very worried about overfeeding my tortoise and she is very greedy! Thanks

There is only a general guide enough to cover the shell, this depends on, if your temps are on the high side constantly, you may find your tort has a greedy/good appetite, the better the weather the more food wanted.

I feed mine as much as they want once a day while indoors. Outdoors they eat as they please as I can't really control that.

I'm no expert, but I feed mine a pile the size of his shell.
