The growth rate of snapping turtles is relatively fast, but it depends on their weight. When they weigh less than 250 grams, their growth rate is relatively slow. For example, it takes about 80 days from 7 grams to 50 grams, and about 80 days from 50 grams to 250 grams. But it usually takes only one year to go from 250 grams to 2500 grams. When their weight reaches 2500 grams, their growth rate will slow down a lot.
Do snapping turtles grow fast? How do they grow fast?

1. Do snapping turtles grow fast

? Snapping turtles grow faster and grow at different rates at different stages of growth. Snapping turtles are usually about 7 grams when they are born. If they grow from 7 grams to 50 grams, it will take about 3 months. If they grow from 50 grams to 250 grams, it will take about 3 months. So when they are 250 grams, the growth rate will increase. If it grows from 250 grams to 2500 grams, it only takes one year, so this stage is the fastest growing stage for snapping turtles. After 2500 grams, the growth rate will slow down again, about 250 grams per year. The growth rate of snapping turtles is calculated according to the average value, but different breeding methods, the growth rate is also different, breeders can judge according to their habits of snapping turtles.

2. How to raise snapping turtles quickly

1. Space: Snapping turtles are large when they grow up, so they should be provided with sufficient space when they grow and develop. The density of feeding should not be too small, which will easily affect their growth.

2. Feeding: If you want the snapping turtle to grow fast, you need to feed it reasonably. Snapping turtles like to eat some small fish, shrimp, lean meat, animal viscera and other animal feed, but the breeder can not only feed a single feed for a long time, need to match some vegetables, fruits or grains, a variety of food in turn to feed, in order to make their nutrition balanced, growth rate will be accelerated.
