1. How big can musk tortoise seedlings grow in a year Musk tortoise seedlings grow about 3-5 cm in a year, because their size is not large, so the growth rate is relatively slow compared with other tortoises. There are also smaller species, such as Mississippi Musk Turtle, which can only grow by 2 cm a year.
The growth rate of musk turtles is affected by feeding methods and feeding environment. If they live in a comfortable environment and have enough food, they will grow faster, and they can grow 5 cm a year. If the environment they live in is polluted or the environment does not meet the requirements for their growth, then their annual growth rate will be very slow, only about 2-3 cm long.
2. What is the maximum length of musk turtleThere are many varieties of musk turtle, and different varieties have different body lengths in adulthood. Like the smaller Mississippi musk turtle, it is about 8 cm in size in adulthood. Of course, there are also larger species, such as giant musk turtles, which can reach 40 cm in length in adulthood. However, the body length of common species of musk turtles is mostly about 8-14 cm in adulthood.
In order to make musk turtles grow bigger, breeders should feed them more animal feed at an early age, so as to ensure their adequate nutrition.
