can razor turtles grow? Razor turtles can grow up to 15-20 centimeters. They belong to small and medium-sized turtles. Generally, they can grow up to 20 centimeters in the wild. Artificial breeding is generally about 15 centimeters, if the breeding environment is better, food is more abundant, they may grow to 20 centimeters, but not more than 20 centimeters. If food is scarce and the environment is poor, they may only grow to 10-15 centimeters.
Razor tortoises grow fastest in their first year of life, and can grow up to 5 centimeters a year as long as they are kept at the right temperature and have enough food and nutrition. After a year, the growth rate will be slow, about 1-2 centimeters a year.
1. Water temperature: Razor turtles are tropical turtles. Their favorite water temperature is between 25-28 degrees Celsius. Breeders need to keep the water temperature in a comfortable range to ensure that they can grow rapidly.
2. Feeding: To make razor turtles grow bigger, breeders need to feed them some nutrient-rich food. At ordinary times, you can eat some red worms, shrimp, nematodes, mealworms and so on, and you can also feed some lean meat, animal viscera and so on. But also with some green algae or vegetable leaves and other plant feed, you can ensure adequate nutrition.
3. Space: Razor turtles are small in size, but they are highly active and need a large enough space to grow better. It is better for breeders to prepare a larger container when they are young, so as to make them bigger.
