I thought they were fully grown (ie adult size) at 6 to 8 weeks old, but I believe they can still grow a bit after that. There's a difference between growing and putting on weight though lol! I'd have thought Patro'n would be fully grown by now. Our Syrian grew quite a bit in the first 3 weeks (by which time he was about 9 weeks old) and didn't really grow after that. The main thing is they have enough protein in the first year as they really need it.
