3cm grass turtles grow about 3-5 cm in a year, and their growth rates are different with different feeding methods. Generally speaking, grass turtles raised at home can grow about 3 cm a year as long as they can ensure adequate food and nutrition. If they are kept at constant temperature, as long as they can ensure adequate food and nutrition, they can grow about 5 cm a year, and some even grow more than 5 cm. If the breeder wants them to grow rapidly, he can feed them some animal feed, which can accelerate their development. In addition, during their development, breeders need to pay attention to the prevention of diseases, so as to avoid illness hindering their development. They should also be exposed to the sun for several hours every day, which can effectively sterilize and improve immunity.
2. How long does it take for grass turtles to reach adulthoodIf judged by the degree of development of body organs, they only need 5 years to reach adulthood. Because grass turtles are born about 5 years ago, their sexual organs will mature and can reproduce. If judged by its size, a 20 cm grass turtle can be called an adult turtle. However, it takes 8-10 years for grass turtles to grow to 20 cm, and during the breeding period, they should be carefully cared for to avoid diseases and other problems.
