The life span of grass turtles is very long, so generally speaking, they can become adults at the age of five. But they mature best when they are seven years old, so this is also a good time for them to breed. Therefore, nutrition must be strengthened during the breeding period to ensure their smooth production. Generally speaking, they lay eggs from the end of April to the end of August, and reach the peak of breeding from May to July. During this period, they should be fed with fresh live bait. However, it should be noted that fresh live bait should be sterilized and disinfected. To reduce their chances of getting sick.
? The grass tortoise can breed at the age of seven. They mature sexually later because they are older. Therefore, they should be fed with highly nutritious food, such as fresh live bait, red nematodes, water fleas and other baits. At the same time, during the feeding period, the water should be changed regularly, and about one third of the water should be changed each time. The water can be changed once a week, not frequently. During the breeding period, the female and male tortoises should be put into the fish tank separately to ensure their smooth breeding. During the breeding period, they should also be fed with high-protein food to help the mother fish give birth naturally, otherwise they may die of malnutrition.
