My turts grew like crazy after I'd had them for awhile as well. They've both grown about an inch (a little more) in a few months. I just asumed it was because they were so much smaller then they were suposse to be anyway. (When I got Bobbi she was three years old and 2 inches!!)
Am I over feeding my turtles too or is that growth okay?

Oh, and my Bobbi (she eats much more than Squirt) did throw up her food a few times. I finally had to tell my mom to QUIT FEEDING HER lol

a full inch in a few months is a rather fast growth rate.. how much and what are you feeding them?

They're feed ReptoMin turtle pellets, which they've been feed less of recently. & they get chicken every once in awhile, but not often. They also gets veggies and bird vitamins. (One vitamin about every other day, they share it)
