General Care Discussion :: How long is a hatchling considered a hatchling?

[Sarah89]

I was just wondering old is a turtle before he is no longer considered a hatchling? A few weeks, months? A year? Do they go through an adolescent period, or do they go straight from hatchling to adult? I looked over redearslider.com and didn't see anything on this topic, if there is a link I would appreciate it! (:
