They could be six but well over grown in size. Which could be ok for the near future. But in the
long term they could have health problems. Six is very young. Usually about ten to fifteen if grown normally before mature enough to breed.

Hi -
I have successfully used a propagator that I bought from B&Q for £50! Just to echo what Sandy said, I also know someone who incubated their tortoise eggs in an airing cupboard and they all hatched fine! Amazing, eh!
