Musk tortoises can grow 3-5 centimeters a year, and their growth rate is relatively slow. Some of the slower growing musk turtles may only grow 2 centimeters a year. Different species of musk turtles have different adult body sizes, such as the Mississippi musk turtle, which is about 5-8 centimeters after adulthood, while the common species of musk turtles can grow to 8-14 centimeters. If you want to increase the size of musk turtles, you can feed more animal feed at ordinary times.

1. How big

can musk tortoises grow in a year? Musk tortoises can grow about 3-5 centimeters a year. Their growth and development are relatively slow compared with other tortoises. How much it can grow depends on the environment in which it is raised and the food it is fed. If the food is sufficient and the living environment is comfortable, the musk turtle can grow by 5 centimeters a year. If the surrounding environment is poor and the nutritional value of the food is not high, it may only grow about 3 centimeters a year.

of musk turtles have different adult sizes, such as the smaller Mississippi musk turtle, which has an adult size of about 5-8 centimeters. Other common species of musk tortoises can grow to about 8 to 14 centimeters as adults. If breeders want musk turtles to grow bigger, they can feed more animal feed at ordinary times, because the fat and protein content in animal feed is higher, feeding more of these foods can promote their growth and development, and make them grow faster and better. Although animal feed is high in nutrients, breeders should regularly match them with some plant feed and synthetic feed, so as to ensure a balanced nutrition.
