There is no way for us to know. If it was started well, which appears to be the case due to the smooth shell, it is probably around 6-9 months old. If it was fed nothing but Mazuri it might only be 4-5 months old. If it was underfed and housed too cool, it might be 2 years old.

He (or she?) is lovely!

the food at the moment to him
90% is natural grass from my garden(20m*20m)
7am-6pm in the wooden box outdoor (2m*2m)with shelter (84F-95F-82.4F)(60%-80% if rain over 85%)
and after 6pm i would take it back to house(77F-80.6F)(50%-70%)

10% soft and wet Mazuri mixed

seem he does not like the mazuri very much

Outdoors all day is not good for babies. Climate and weather don't matter and this is true even in their native ranges. They do much better when housed mostly indoors in a large closed chamber with controlled conditions.
