1. How long can a grass turtle live without eating The grass turtle can live for 1-3 months without eating, and how long it can persist depends on the feeding temperature and the constitution of the grass turtle. Normally, they can only last for one month in a high temperature environment. Because the higher the temperature, their metabolism will accelerate, so they can't last long. If they are raised at low temperature, they will last longer. Because in the low temperature environment, the appetite and activity of grass turtles will decrease, so they can persist in not eating for 3 months.
2. How do grass turtles grow well?To make grass turtles grow well, they should be fed more foods with high calcium content, so as to ensure that their carapace develops better and their color will be more shiny. Foods suitable for grass turtles include small fish, shrimp, loach, tadpoles, snails, earthworms and so on. Usually, you can also feed plant feeds, such as cabbage, rape, lettuce, cucumber, pumpkin, apple, banana, etc. These foods contain a lot of vitamins, which can enhance their resistance and immunity.
In addition to ensuring the diversity of food, the amount of feeding should also be paid attention to. In childhood, the amount of feeding can be controlled at 8-90% full, and in adulthood, the amount of feeding needs to be reduced, and the amount of feeding can be controlled at 7-80% full.
