I think that's wishful thinking. Those itty bitty things don't grow.

For being the second smallest tortoise specie in the world, Egyptians have tremendous growth potential in captivity. When hatched they are the size of a quarter and in about 5-6 years females can attain breeding size at 5 inches. Annette, looks like your girls are ready for some male company!

What is the size of your 3 males. Having an alpha male will get things started. My first female to produce fertile eggs was right at the 5 inch mark and the male was relentless.
