up? After five years of feeding, the grass turtle will gradually enter the mature period, at which time their gonads will mature. In the process of breeding, rich nutrition and sunshine will accelerate their growth and development. Although they usually grow up after five years, some of them enter the mature stage at the age of eight. Careful
observers may find that tortoises that hibernate will mature earlier than those that do not hibernate. Temperature is also an important factor affecting growth and development. As they grow up, the color of their backs will gradually deepen, and some adult male grass turtles will turn black.
can the grass turtle grow? The sex of the grass turtle is different, and the size is also different. Generally, the size of the female grass turtle is about 20 centimeters, while that of the male is only about 15 centimeters. The main reason for their size is genetics. Females mature a little later and grow much faster than males in their infancy, so they are much larger than males.
Whether female or male, if you want them to grow bigger, you can feed more nutritious food and control the water temperature in the range of 25-30 degrees Celsius. In addition, the turtle tank should be placed close to the light so that they can bask in the sun more.
