1. What is the problem of grass turtle not shelling 1. Shelling is not obvious: As long as the grass turtle is raised normally, shelling will occur. However, when the grass turtle shells, it will not fall off in a large area, but only in a small area, so many breeders have not found it. Breeders may not find shelling because they grow too slowly, because the growth rate is slow, and the frequency of shelling will decrease, so many breeders may feel that they are not shelling.
2. It is not time to change shells: It may be that it is not time to change shells for grass turtles to not shell, and they usually shell after 2 years of development. And they only shell once a year, mostly in summer every year.
3. Calcium deficiency: The reason why grass turtles never shell is probably because of calcium deficiency, because they need a lot of calcium to shell, and if they lack calcium, they will not shell.
2. When will grass turtles shellThe shelling time of grass turtles is not fixed, because their shelling is a normal physiological phenomenon, and only when their body size grows to a certain extent will they shell. Therefore, when grass turtles shell depends on their growth speed.
It is also uncertain how long it takes for grass turtles to finish shelling. Some grass turtles can finish shelling in a few days, while others need about 2-3 months. If breeders want to speed up their shelling, they can feed more foods with high calcium content such as small fish and shrimp.
