I believe all of us have raised turtles. In fact, the turtles we raise are generally Brazilian turtles, but you know, Brazilian turtles are actually an “ecological killer”. In fact, now they have been regarded as foreign invasive animals by many countries, but because their appearance is lovely, their color is also very good-looking, and they have certain ornamental value, One of the biggest advantages is that it’s easy to raise him. You don’t need to spend a lot of energy to take care of him. So many people like to keep Brazilian turtles as pet turtles. So how old is he to lay eggs?
You should know that he eats a lot, so the Brazilian turtle grows very fast. However, how old can the Brazilian turtle grow in a year? It can be said that if the baby turtle hatched from August to October is raised normally at a suitable temperature and with enough food, the average can reach 30-40 grams when it is close to winter, But in the second year, it can be raised to more than 250 grams, and in the third year, it is almost more than 450 grams.
If the Brazilian turtle you bought is almost bigger than a coin, it will be as big as the cover on our quilt in the second year. In the third year, it will be like the mouse we often use. In the fourth year, it will be almost as big as a rice bowl. In the fifth year, its length can be compared with an open toilet paper.
Many people want to know what the turtle’s body length is. In fact, the Brazilian turtle can be as long as 15-30cm. In fact, the longest one can be as long as 60cm, which is still found in the United States. However, if he is raised at home, he can only live for more than 30 years at most, generally 25-35cm. To calculate, it is generally no problem for an older person to be about 3-9 cm.
Of course, the key to the growth of Brazilian turtles depends on the food given by the owner, mainly in terms of diet, which can be meat or shrimp, supplemented with protein. But we should still pay attention to the sanitation of utensils, temperature and water. In fact, Brazilian turtles are not very sick. Even if he is ill, but he is still willing to eat, it means there is no big problem. He will still grow up. As long as you pay attention to observation, if the Brazilian turtle starts to grow a new shell, his limbs and head will slowly begin to peel off. At the same time, it means that he is really growing.
