can the Brazilian tortoise grow? Under the condition of reasonable feeding, the Brazilian tortoise can grow to 20-30 cm. Their juvenile period is the fastest growing period, and then the growth rate will decrease year by year. At first, they grow up to 8 cm a year, and then they grow up to about 2 cm a year. If you have to look for a reference, the newly hatched Brazilian tortoise is about the size of a coin. After a year of
breeding, it is not much bigger than the lid of the pot. After four years of feeding, it is about the same size as the bowl mouth. However, female and male tortoises are different in weight, with the female being heavier than the male. Most adult female tortoises weigh 2-4 kg, while male tortoises weigh only about 1 kg.
is the life span of the Brazilian tortoise? The life span of the Brazilian tortoise is relatively long, and its resistance is relatively strong. Few of them die because of illness. In family breeding, if the breeding is reasonable, they can generally live for about 35 years. Brazilian tortoises, on the other hand, can live even longer in the wild. They usually live about 60 years. This is mainly because Brazilian tortoises raised at home are fragile, and changes in the external environment will affect their life span. Therefore, when raising Brazilian turtles, we should pay attention to the surrounding water temperature, water level, food, disease prevention and so on. Generally, the water temperature is controlled between 20-32 ℃. The water level should be higher than them. Food should be adequate, mainly meat. The water quality should be clean.
