can the Chinese tortoise live? The life span of the Chinese tortoise is about 20-30 years. Compared with other tortoises, the life span is relatively short, but there are also those with higher physique or better breeding environment that can live to 40-50 years. Generally, wild Chinese tortoises live longer, about 50 years, because the space, water temperature and water quality in the wild are more in line with their survival requirements. If breeders want to keep turtles alive longer, they can simulate the natural environment and ensure adequate food and nutrition, which can not only promote the growth and development of turtles, but also prolong their life span.
? The Chinese tortoise raised by the family can grow up in about 5 years. Because the food and environment can be controlled by the family, it will not fluctuate too much, so their growth and development are also fast. If it is a wild turtle, it usually takes about 7-10 years to become an adult. Although the environment in the wild is suitable, the food and nutrition in the wild are not enough, so their development speed will slow down. Moreover, synthetic turtle food contains some hormones, which can accelerate their development and maturity, so it usually takes only five years for artificially raised turtles to mature, and if properly raised, they may mature in three years.
