As a good guide, 2-3 grms a month growth is good, any more and you could get a lumpy tortoise.
You can get months where they put on a little more, and some months they dont put on any. Keeping a record of their growth does help.

Just thought I'd give an update. All hatchlings are doing very well. At the moment I've got another 25 eggs in the incubator. 4 of which have hatched over the last few days.
