The map turtle is a relatively small pet turtle. Moreover, their growth rate is relatively slow and sometimes not easy to observe. When they are young, that is, when they are in the juvenile stage, their growth rate will be relatively fast. When they are older, their growth rate will slow down, even half a year or a year can not be observed in their growth. After adulthood, they basically stop growing.
In addition, the number of centimeters a year that a map turtle raised in a family can grow has a great relationship with the way it is raised. If the environment is suitable and sufficient, their growth rate is fast, and they can be clearly observed every year. If the environment is not suitable, or the nutrition in the food is insufficient, then the growth rate of map turtles will be slow, or even stunted.
As mentioned above, the growth rate of map turtles is relatively slow, and sometimes their growth can not be observed. When they are small, they grow fast. If they are provided with suitable environment and adequate nutrition at this time, their growth rate is the fastest, sometimes about 5 centimeters a year or even faster. When they are older, or when the way of breeding is not suitable, the growth rate of map turtles is slow, maybe only one or two centimeters a year or not at all, which is possible. Therefore, if you want them to grow fast, you still need to take good care of them.
