Generally, under normal feeding conditions, a grass turtle can grow about two centimeters in a year in terms of diameter, but if the hibernation of the grass turtle is taken into account, a grass turtle can grow about one centimeter in a year. The growth rate of grass turtles is not fast, the longest can grow to 23 centimeters, but this length is generally only female grass turtles can reach, the longest male grass turtles can grow to about 15 centimeters. But if the grass turtle is fed unreasonably in order to pursue its growth rate, it will grow very fast every year, but it will also greatly damage its health. Therefore, only normal feeding is needed.
The number of catties that different sex tortoises grow in a year is also different, and it also depends on different growth environments and food quality. Generally speaking, the growth rate of female grass turtles is faster than that of male grass turtles, and their size is larger. But the annual growth of grass turtles is actually not much, on average, about 20 grams, but there are also female grass turtles growing about 100 grams a year, male grass turtles grow slowly, the average weight is less than 250 grams.
