I said YOU CAN not YOU WILL.

Tortoises, just like people, grow at different rates. Your little ones might grow slowly, and then maybe one of them will really take off and gain several pounds a year. My Dudley went from 35lbs to 98lbs in only 7 or 8 years. And then you hear about the little ones that don't seem to grow. One can't predict how fast or slowly a sulcata will reach bulldozer stage, but with 7 of them you are going to have your hands full before you know it!

Oh I know they grow at different rates. Cheech is almost 2 lbs. and Chong is about 3/4 lb. and they both eat the same things and probably amount. I've actually seen Chong finish his food 1st and go and eat Cheech's. I'm not saying anyone is wrong but 45 lbs is a lot of weight to gain in 2 years but then you never know. I can't wait for them to get that size and bigger but I will

Don't forget you will need to build a large cinderblock barn with a good heat source for them in the next few years. In Oregon they can't stay outside except for a few months & soon they will be too big to stay in the house. Were they rescues or did you buy them on purpose?

I recently helped my sister's coworker from Minneapolis find a home for her 50 lb Sulcata. She had him since a hatchling and loved him tremendously. Unfortunately he was getting very unhappy being confined in the basement for so many months. He now lives in a Southern state.

To save yourself heartache and stress I'd go with a smaller tortoise.
