grass turtles don't grow fast, to be precise, their growth speed is relatively slow. Because of their small size, they can only grow between 1 and 2 cm a year under normal breeding. If they are raised in a poor environment and have insufficient food, they will grow more slowly, and some with poor physique may stop growing. Even if the breeder can provide them with comfortable living environment, plenty of food and large space, they can only grow 2-3 cm a year at most.
2. How to raise grass turtles quickly1. Larger containers: Although grass turtles are not very big, too small containers may affect their growth and development. In the process of breeding, breeders need to prepare a container 2-3 times larger than their size, so that they can move freely.
2. Comfortable environment: If you want grass turtles to grow faster, you must ensure that their living environment is comfortable. Usually, it is necessary to keep the water temperature between 22-28 ℃ and keep the water quality clean and fresh, so as to accelerate their growth.
3. Adequate food: The growth rate of grass turtles is also closely related to food. In their growth and development stage, breeders need to feed them more high-nutrition food.
4. Bask in the sun frequently: May-October is the fastest growth stage of grass turtles. Breeders can bask them in the sun for a period of time every day, which can also promote them to absorb nutrients in food and accelerate their growth.
