Feeding some animal feed to grass turtles can accelerate their growth. Because animal feed contains more nutrients, it can meet most of the nutrients needed in the process of their growth and development. The animal feed suitable for grass turtles is small fish, shrimp, lean meat, animal viscera, loach, tadpoles, earthworms, snails and so on.
In addition to feeding more animal feed, we should also feed some plant feed, so as to ensure their balanced nutrition. Plant feeds suitable for grass turtles include cabbage, rape, lettuce, apples, bananas, grapes and so on.
2. How to raise grass turtles quickly1. Comfortable environment: If you want grass turtles to grow faster, you must first ensure that their living environment is comfortable. Usually, the water temperature should be kept between 22-28 ℃, and the water quality should be kept clean and fresh. It is best to change the water once every 3-5 days, and one third of the water can be changed every time.
2. Plenty of space: Although grass turtles are small in size, breeders need to give them plenty of room to move so that they can develop better in size.
3. Bask in the sun frequently: During the growth and development of grass turtles, it is best to give them sunshine every day. Because basking in the sun can not only promote their absorption of calcium and accelerate their growth and development, but also kill most bacteria on their carapace and make their physique stronger.
