Compared with other tortoises, the growth rate of razor tortoise is not very fast, but it is not very slow. Their specific growth rate depends on what growth stage they are in. Razor turtles can grow 1-5 cm a year, but the specific growth rate depends on their age and the way they are raised. Generally speaking, razor turtles grow fastest in the first year. As long as they are fed enough food and comprehensive nutrition, they can grow 5 cm in the first year. But by the age of 2, their growth rate will slow down, and they can only grow by 1-2 cm a year. The first year of razor turtles is a key stage of their growth and development. If breeders want to make them bigger, they should take good care of them.

Razor turtles are common turtle species, and their body length is mostly 15-17 cm in adulthood. Their size has a great relationship with the way they are raised. If they are raised properly, their size will grow bigger. If they are raised in a poor environment and in the wrong way, they will not be too big.

Although razor turtles are small in size, their activity is high. Before breeding, breeders need to prepare a larger container for them, so as to ensure their sufficient space for movement and make their size develop larger.
