What are your temps and humidity? Are you doing soaks? With this info, some of the more experienced on here can help tweak if needed. Pictures are always helpful too
Do you know the age of Kirby? When you pick Kirby up does he feel solid or hollow?
idk how old kirby was when i first got him, temps in his table range from 100 in basking to 75ish, i soak him every night from 20 to 30 min, he usually poops in his water like usual, i dont has a humidity gauge yet but i try to keep it as moist in the cage as possible without making it muddy i have him in organic soil, i have a bowl of water that he does walk in everyday i put out different types of greens every morning, he feels solid from what i can tell, idk if its just me or what from what i see others torts growth are compared to him
They all grow at such different rates that its hard to even compare clutch mates when it comes to growth. As long as Kirby feels solid when picked up then he is probably good. Weighing on a regular basis will help you track weight and as long as its going up then your good.
I would guess that Kirby is only a couple months old.
When I got my hatchling, he was 3 months old and weighed 40 grams or 1.4oz...

He looks good. Keep doing what you are doing and get him as much sunshine as you can. Grocery store greens are okay, but can you get some grasses or weeds? Do you ever feed Mazuri? That might help to put some size on him too.
i usually drop him off at my gfs house which isnt sprayed at all, there barmuda cloves growing like crazy and he loves it, i was looking into it i was going to order some and see how he likes it, i tryed sulcata food seed all he ate out of it was the cloves and left everything else to die, i built a outdoor table for him but its been to cold in the morning and by the time i get home its dark but its starting to warm up more so he will be outside way more,
