The Brazilian tortoise is a common pet tortoise that can grow into a piece every year until it becomes an adult. However, how long they grow in a year is affected by many factors. For example, if they are in the juvenile stage, the growth rate is very fast, in this case, they can grow a lot in a year, or even 0.5 centimeters or more in a month. However, if they are older or even close to adulthood, their body size changes less in a year of breeding.
Moreover, the way they are raised has a greater impact on how long they can grow in a year. If the right environment is provided, their growth rate will be relatively fast, sometimes 5 centimeters or more a year. However, the Brazilian tortoise does not grow as fast as possible, and growing too fast may lead to their body shape becoming unsightly.
As mentioned above, the way of breeding has a greater impact on the growth rate of the Brazilian turtle, so we need to pay attention to the way of breeding. For example, feeding is an important factor, usually feeding can be mainly animal food as staple food, such as fish and shrimp, mealworms, etc., other foods, such as vegetables and grains and other foods can be used as snacks, pay attention to reasonable collocation of food. Another is the sun, the appropriate light can not only enhance the disease resistance of Brazilian turtles, but also promote their growth. Moreover, the surrounding water environment, water temperature can be 22-28 degrees, but also need to change water regularly to ensure good water quality.
