Hi there! Tort growth is highly variable. I have heard of them doubling or more in size in a year. It's hard to even give a guess though. How old are your babies? We love pictures!

Only few months. Eating good and active. Indoor enclosure but go outside good days often for few hours. Graze lots. Foods greens and lots dandelions and thistles from yard (no treatment in yard).

Pics, will try.
