Hello and welcome to the forum...

Some tortoises can take several weeks or even months to lose the egg tooth, so two weeks is not a issue...

I have a 4 month old with an egg tooth. As long as they are eating, active, and their husbandry needs are met, I wouldn't worry.

Welcome and I agree with Neal. Some of them simply take longer than others and as long as he or she is eating fine I would not be concerned.
