I have a female russian tortoise and it has been raining quite a bit where i live so I have been feeding it spring greens and dandelions indoors. however, when I pick it up, it feels lighter than I expect. I think she was heavier before, and I do not believe I have been over feeding her. Can anyone find an answer to my "problem". I do not think it is urgent, but i do think it is a bit peculiar. Also, just to double check, how much SHOULD a full grown russian weigh? Thanks a lot for the help!!
