How big can Chinese grass turtles grow in one year and how big can they grow at the maximum

Chinese grass turtles can grow about 2 cm a year, and their growth speed is relatively slow compared with other turtles. If they are not allowed to hibernate, their growth rate may be faster, about 2-3 cm. If they enter hibernation normally, their growth rate will be much slower, and they can only grow 1-2 cm a year. In addition, they grow at different rates in different environments. If you want Chinese grass turtles to grow faster, you'd better ensure that they live in a comfortable environment and have enough food.

1. How big can Chinese grass turtles grow in a year

Chinese grass turtles can grow about 2 cm in artificial breeding, and their growth rate is slow. Even under normal breeding and without hibernation, they can only grow 2-3 cm in a year. If they are allowed to hibernate normally, their growth rate will slow down a lot, and they can only grow 1-2 cm a year. If the breeding environment is poor, it may stop growing. Of course, there are also hormone-containing feeds. Long-term feeding can accelerate their growth, but long-term feeding may affect their health.

In addition, in order to make Chinese grass turtles grow faster, it is necessary to feed them more nutritious food and ensure their living environment is comfortable.

2. What is the maximum length of grass turtles

The maximum body size of grass turtles can grow to 28 cm in adulthood, but the average body length of captive grass turtles in adulthood is about 20 cm, and the body length of different genders in adulthood is also different. Generally speaking, female turtles are larger than male turtles. Most of the adult female turtles are more than 20 cm long, and some grass turtles with proper breeding or good physique can reach more than 28 cm long. Male turtles will be smaller in size. Most of them are about 15 cm in length in adulthood, the largest is 20 cm, and few are more than 20 cm.
