How big should a 6 year old sulcata be?

I have seen 6 year olds that are 4″ and weigh a pound and I have seen 6 year olds that are 26″ and 80 pounds. If you have a well started baby, house it correctly (simulating the african rainy season that wild ones hatch into), and feed it well, it should be in the neighborhood of 6-7″ and 800-1000 grams at one year.

How big does A sulcata tortoise get to be?

They grow up to 2.5 feet long and 80-110 pounds. Some males will even reach upwards to 200 pounds. Sometimes, sulcatas will reach this size within 5-10 years. It’s not uncommon to find a 15 pound 2-3 year old sulcata tortoise.

How often do sulcata hatchlings grow on average?

Where can I buy the best baby sulcatas?

Can A sulcata tortoise live in a group?

Neither tortoise will be happy with this arrangement and one will likely suffer more and grow much less. In time you will see this. They tend to do well in groups of 3 or more, and they tend to do well alone. At least one does not tend to do well when housed in a pair.

I’ve been looking through the forum to find something about the general growth rate for sulcata tortoises and I haven’t found anything except updated pictures of adult sulcatas.
