How long musk turtles grow up depends on the feeding situation and living environment. Generally, turtles raised in families come of age earlier. In family feeding, under the condition of reasonable feeding, they can reach adulthood after 6-7 years. If they live in the wild, they will come of age later. This is because the living environment in the wild is worse than that in the family, which makes their development slow. However, if they are not provided with suitable living space in family breeding, they will become adults later.
2. How to judge whether musk turtles are adultsTo judge whether musk turtles are adults depends on their body length. There are many species of musk turtles, so there is still a certain gap in their size, but most of them are relatively small, and their body length is generally between 7 and 14 cm. If they are found to be more than 10 cm in length during feeding, it means that they are basically adults. But there is no way to judge whether they are adults just by looking at their length, but also by looking at their growth rate. If they are kept for a long time, but their body length is basically unchanged, then they are already adults.
