Musk turtles in seedling stage can grow 2-3 cm in a year, which is the rapid growth stage. Pay attention to the combination of diet when feeding food, which can make them grow faster. It is suggested to feed more high-protein foods such as fish and shrimp, which can accelerate the growth of musk turtles to a certain extent.

When they are adults, their growth rate is greatly reduced compared with that of their infancy, and their body length is up to 1 cm per year. People who have raised musk turtles should know that their body length is much smaller than that of other turtles, and they can only grow to 15 cm at most. Some adult turtles may be less than 10 cm long due to poor environment.

Musk turtles are prone to white eye disease, rotten armor, rotten claws and other diseases. They are infected with this kind of disease, which is basically affected by water quality. If the water quality is not clean or polluted, it is easy to cause them to get sick. When they are found to have this disease, the first thing to do is to change the water, and keeping the water quality clean is the first step of treatment. You can add some non-iodized salt to the water, which can play a role in sterilization. Then use turtle protection liquid for nursing treatment. This kind of nursing medicine is also sold in the market, but the dosage should not be too much each time. In addition, during daily feeding, attention should be paid to cleaning up food residues in time. Excess residues will accumulate for a long time, which will affect the water quality and cause turtles to get sick.
