I'm just wondering out of curiousity how fast do porcupines get to their full adult size? Assume that its starting out at about 3" long.

mine normally see a few inches a year til they are around 7-8 inches, then they either go really fast, or slow down quite a bit.


i dont know on the full sized past 12 inchers cause i normally have them trained and in the customers tanks by then.

but a good inch a year at least usually.

Is this about the same for a Burrfish? I'm trying to figure out when exactly I will need a bigger tank for Brindy.

She is about 4 inches.
