Anyone know the average hatch weight of sulcatas? can't seem to find it on any of the sites...np

My little guy was 55g when I got him, but he didn't gain any weight for more than a month, so I assumed he was dehydrated and possibly malnurished. That was last November and I was trying to get a rough estimate of when he hatched. He weighs 127g now

Thanks

They weigh at birth between 40-50gm. Most tortoise eggs have a tolerence to weight so take the mid figure of 45gm.
