The growth rate of the tortoise is relatively slow. Under normal feeding conditions, the tortoise can grow two to three centimeters a year. Depending on the sex, adult female turtles can grow to 20 centimeters, while male turtles can grow to about 15 centimeters. Under suitable conditions in all aspects, the grass turtle only needs to be fed normally. If you feed it too much hormone food in order to make it grow quickly, although it can make it grow quickly, this way will eventually cause great harm to its body, which will lead to illness or even death. Therefore, even if the grass turtle grows only two or three centimeters a year, it should not be too hasty.
Generally, the grass turtle can lay eggs after being raised for five years. Therefore, if we calculate according to the time when it can lay eggs, that is, the time when it is sexually mature, we can generally carry out the breeding plan in about five years. In other words, it can be regarded as an adult turtle in about five years. In terms of size, about 20 centimeters is the average size that adult female turtles can grow to, and this process takes about 89 years. During this period, the owner needs to carefully feed the tortoise, such as supplementing nutritious live bait. You can also let it shine more in the sun, which can also promote its growth.
