Guessing Puffers Age?

I have 3 F8's. Had them for a couple weeks now. Is there any way to tell their age? They are all around 2in. Maybe a little more. I know they are caught wild. So they could be several years old for all I know, right? Also they pace the glass a lot, I have a pretty heavily planted tank. All live plants, a large rock and 2 big pieces of driftwood. It's a 46 gal. Thanks for any help and a Merry Christmas to all :)
Jesus is the reason for the season :)

It's impossible to accurately guess their age, especially if they have been in captivity for some time. There are so many factors to consider

+1 to bertie's comment. There is no way to guess a captive puffer's age.
