How fast do they grow.

Specifically I'm interested in Egyptians, but I'm curious about the others as well. Like how big would they be after a year ,etc.

My Egyptian turned 1 in August and I would say he is 8 or 9 inches long. He hasn't had his check-up for this year yet (drat I need to schedule that) so I am not sure exactly how long he is and how much he weighs.

Mosca's breeder said that he had one pair that he sold, and the owner claimed that a male had gotten to be 15 inches long in a year, and a female 13. We both agreed that that was probably being fed monket chow or the like (not a good long term health oriented diet). So, it really does vary.
