I have a 3 year old sulcata that is around 7-8 inches and ways about 8-9 pounds. Is this normal for there age. I showed home to a reptile expert and he said he is just small and they all grow at very different rates. I’m starting to get worried that he is not eating enough and that’s why he isn’t very big. Thanks!
Is my tortoise small for its age

All torts and turtles grow at their own pace. So grow faster then others, some slower. If your tort is eating good food, has the right climate, is active ect, it should be fine.
That is on the small side for the age, but if all is good, I wouldn't worry about it.
Do you want to tell us how and where you are housing the tortoise and we can try to see what might be wrong, or what might need improvement? Or maybe we will discover that everything is great and he's just a slow grower.
