/^d{1,3}$/
is looking for the letter d, one to three time. It probably should be:
/^\d{1,3}$/
Although, by doing so, you are allowing the following ages:
0
000
999
099
etc...
I'd recommend something a little more restrictive - e.g. (untested):
unless(/^[1-9]\d{1,2}$/)
and, if you actually want to limit yourself to reasonable ages, then (untested):
unless(/^[1-9]\d{0,2}$/ and $_ < 122 and $_ > 16)
but you really need to write better questions...
