It usually takes 1-3 months for grass turtles to molt, and they molt every year during their growth and development. This molting is a normal physiological phenomenon, and the time of molting is also closely related to the way of feeding. If they have enough food, they may molt faster. If food and nutrition are insufficient, molting will be slower. Therefore, when they molt, it is best to ensure that they have sufficient nutrition.
2. What should be paid attention to when grass turtles molt1. Change water frequently: The skin shed by grass turtles pollutes the water quality seriously. When they molt, breeders need to change water in time to ensure clean water quality. Moreover, their newly shed skin is sensitive, and if they encounter poor water quality, they may be infected with bacteria.
2. Get more sun: When grass turtles shed their skins, they should also get more sun. Because ultraviolet rays in the sun can sterilize and make their new skin adapt to the environment more quickly.
3. Feed more food: When grass turtles molt, it is the key stage of their growth and development. At this time, breeders need to feed them more high-nutrition foods, so as to ensure their adequate nutrition during growth and development.
4, don't tear: When grass turtles shed their skins, they may shed half of their skins. At this time, breeders should never tear them off by hand, because this will hurt them. You need to wait for them to shed themselves before they can harm the turtles.
