My male w.hognose when I got him (a little younger than a yearling) was about 8-9 inches long, now that he has been eating on a regular (semi-regular) basis he is about 14 inches (and I've had him about 4-5 months).

He was on pink, but is now on fuzzies. Pinks don't have the calcium (bones) that fuzzies do and the longer you keep your hoggie on pinks, the longer she will stay small.
IMHO only
