there's no real way to tell unless you raise her from birth....they grow at different rates depending on how much they eat and the types of food they eat...

You'll never know.... unless you cut her in half and count the rings!

Or snap off her head and look for a label?

Or maybe she still has a recent birthday card that might reveal her age.

Better have an older one as well, in case she's celebrated the same birthday twice.
