1. How long does the grass turtle grow up to one centimeter It takes six months to one year for the grass turtle to grow up to one centimeter. Because their growth rate is relatively slow compared with other turtles, even if they live in a comfortable environment and have plenty of food, they can only grow 2-3 cm a year at most. If they live in an unstable environment and their food is unstable, their growth rate will slow down a lot. So on average, they grow up to 1 cm, which takes about six months to one year.
If breeders want to make grass turtles grow faster, they can feed them more animal feed, and ensure that their living environment is comfortable and there is plenty of space. Of course, some hormone-containing feeds can make them grow by 5-7 cm a year, but long-term feeding of this feed will affect their physique and health.
2. How long does it take for grass turtles to grow upAccording to the breeding standard, grass turtles can generally mature in about 5 years, that is to say, under the condition of normal breeding, grass turtles can reproduce in about 5 years. However, their body size has not reached the standard of adult turtles in about 5 years, and it takes 8-9 years for grass turtles to reach the standard of adult turtles. Of course, the body length of 20 cm is average, and some male grass turtles can't reach 20 cm in length when they are adults, so breeders should follow the specific situation.
