The growth speed of the small snapping turtle is relatively fast, but their growth speed is different in different growth stages. Generally speaking, when the weight is below 250 grams, their growth rate is slow. For example, from birth to 50 grams, they take about 3 months, and from 50 grams to 250 grams, it also takes about 3 months. But when they grow to 250 grams, the growth rate will accelerate, and it takes only one year from 250 grams to 2,500 grams. But when their weight reaches 2500 grams, their growth rate will slow down again.
The growth rate of crocodile turtles is calculated according to the average value. The growth rate of crocodile turtles is different in different environments, and their growth rate is affected by environment and feeding.
2. How do small crocodile turtles grow fast1. Space: Small crocodile turtles are larger in size after adulthood, and their growth speed is also relatively fast. Breeders need to provide them with enough space so that they can grow bigger.
2. Feeding: Besides space, we must ensure adequate food and nutrition. Breeders can usually feed more small fish, shrimp, red worms, lean meat, animal viscera, shellfish, snails and other foods. In addition to these foods, breeders should also match some vegetables, fruits and other foods to ensure their balanced nutrition.
