I know this has been asked before. I have a Hermann's hatchling. I got "him" Oct. 2015 at 2", and maybe 45 g (I didn't have a scale at that time). In Feb., he was 65 g (first time actually weighed). Now, April 2016, he is 3" and 80 g- and I think he's only 10 months old! All the growth is smooth. He looks happy, healthy, and active. I feed him daily- weeds, flowers, store greens, rehydrated tortoise herbal blend (from Tortoise Supply), and Repashy grassland grazer (no vegetables or fruit and I recently planted tortoise seeds in the yard). Is this growth okay? I can post pics if needed.

as long as he is not overweight no growth is too fast

I don't think he's overweight. He can tuck his head and legs into his shell.
