his carapace looks great, as long as he is healthy I say just keep doing what your doing because he is a good looking tort..
Have you weighed him? My 7 month old is almost 4 inches and weighs 220 grams
He looks great to me. I'd also love to know the weights in grams. That will give us a much better idea.
Vitamins every other day seems like a lot to me. If its working for you, no reason to stop. Do you ever use plain calcium instead of the vitamins?
I usually feed my babies twice a day too.

Your little tortoise is beautiful. Don't worry that he's growing too fast. He looks great. Some of them just do grow fast. We had a post a couple days ago and her desert tortoise looked to be full grown. It was a post about the tortoise showing its penis if you'd like to look for it. The tortoise was only 3 years old. It was huge for 3 yrs. but looked perfectly healthy.
We always say that slow growth is best, but if you're not doing anything to accelerate the growth, its just natural for that particular tortoise. Maybe his ancestors came from a part of the desert where food was scarce for most of the year and they evolved to get big faster than normal...who knows.
