The growth rate of the Buddha crocodile turtle is different in different stages, and it grows very fast in the first few years. Under normal breeding, they can grow by about 10-15 cm a year. If they are fed with growth-promoting feed in a constant temperature environment, they can grow by about 20 cm a year. When they develop for 3-4 years, their growth rate will slow down, especially when their body size reaches more than 45 cm, and their annual growth rate will be very slow, and some will stop growing.
If breeders want to make them grow bigger, they must first ensure that the surrounding environment is comfortable, the water temperature should be controlled between 28-30 ℃, and the water quality should be kept clean and refreshing. Secondly, we should ensure sufficient food. During their growth and development, we should feed more animal feeds to make them develop better. Finally, it is necessary to prevent diseases. The ability to resist diseases in infancy is not strong, so breeders need to check them regularly to avoid them suffering from diseases.
