1. How big can Maple Leaf Turtles grow The body length of Maple Leaf Turtles in adulthood is about 8-12 cm, and how big they can grow depends on their sex. If raised in the same environment, the female maple leaf turtle will be larger, and its body length will be about 12 cm in adulthood. Male maple leaf turtles will be smaller in size, and their body length will be 9-10 cm in adulthood. Because maple leaf turtles have high requirements on the environment, and family breeding can't completely simulate the wild environment, their size will be smaller than that of wild ones.
2. How to raise maple turtles to grow bigger1. Suitable environment: Maple turtles have higher requirements for the environment, especially the water temperature. If they want to grow bigger, they must be given a suitable living environment. Breeders should keep the water temperature between 22-25 ℃, and keep the water quality clean and refreshing. They are semi-aquatic turtles, and the water level should not be too high. It is most appropriate to control them under the carapace.
2. Scientific feeding: Although maple leaf turtles eat miscellaneous foods, they are also picky about food. Breeders can choose some animal feeds that they are interested in, which can effectively supplement nutrition for them. It should be noted that they prefer live bait, and it is best for breeders to disinfect them before feeding.
3. Disease prevention: The resistance of maple leaf turtle is not very strong, so breeders should pay attention to disease prevention at ordinary times. You can judge whether they are sick by observing their carapace and eyes. If you suffer from diseases, it is best to treat them in time, so as not to affect their growth and development.
