The beginning of life is developed and grown by a "small seed", and the turtle goes from fertilization to laying eggs, then hatching, and then entering a stage of self-sufficient growth. If it is in our hands, then we are its food and clothing parents, feeding and drinking, and making it grow. We need to put in a little bit of hard work and energy, so that we just want them to grow up healthy and reciprocate. Although we care about the turtle's hair color, health, texture change and appearance level, its growth rate and individual size, whether it is the most concerned in your heart, it will intentionally or unintentionally attract your attention.
Why haven't my turtles seen the opening for months? Why doesn't it seem to be much bigger in a few years? Why are the other turtles so old that this one doesn't move? And so on the growth problem, in fact, it has always been touching the heart of the owner before the turtle matures.
For farming, the faster the growth rate of turtles, the earlier they can produce output and benefit, but we know that the longer the animals live, the longer they take to grow to sexual maturity. I remember that I have seen the report before, the children of a British family became fathers at the age of 13, which should be regarded as the youngest father (I don't know if my information has been delayed for a long time, and now there is no record breaking). It takes 13 years to mature, right, so normally turtles mature in 5-7 years. It may take a few more years to completely stabilize production. This is actually very normal, for our own breeding, in fact, there is no need to be too anxious, just enjoy the process. But having said that, I still hope to see the results soon. Friends who have had dogs know that starting from a puppy, you can see great changes in a few months, and you can grow into a big dog in a year. It's just that dogs don't live as long as turtles.
The growth rate of "turtles" will vary depending on the feeding environment, feeding conditions, and feeding methods and turtle species. So if you ask how many years to mature, a few months to open the lines and the like, you can only say an average data, and you have to raise your own to know ah.
At the same time, the growth rate is definitely different depending on the turtle species, and the larger the adult turtle, the faster the growth rate. However, I personally think that some are just illusions, the adults are larger, and according to the proportion of growth, the juveniles will be larger than other turtles. However, there are indeed differences between turtles and turtles. The national turtle will grow more slowly (personal understanding), while the Brazilian face will grow faster in comparison. At the same time, there is also a clear difference in feeding. Once a turtle friend shared, small green out of the shell head seedlings, there are conditions to harvest wild every day, are fed shrimp, loach, fish fry and other food, a year later the length of the turtle body is more than 7 cm, and Xiaobian refers to their own feeding growth rate but grow more than one centimeter, haha. The world is different, high-protein food is indeed a good "weapon" for growing up, but you have to grasp this scale well, and don't let the turtle eat gastroenteritis.
At the same time, some turtle friends said: the growth rate of small crocodiles is slow, not as fast as rumored. In fact, the rumor can be used as a reference, each person's individual and breeding are different, can not be randomly compared. And from a personal point of view, the crocodile has a growth stage, the seedlings to grow a little indeed this time will be slower, but when the height of more than 5-6 cm after the dorsal carapace, it feels that the amount of food and growth rate also went up, much faster.
It is also related to the birth of Miao. The seedling hatching process is too rough, some will seek fast, heating is relatively high and other operations, in fact, the seedlings out of the physique is not very good, but a bunch of seedlings we are not easy to distinguish. After rearing, slow nutrient intake and other phenomena will also be found, resulting in slow growth.
In fact, for us lovers, if you see the turtle open the stripe, there is no need to worry, the turtle is growing smoothly, but our inner hints have been urging ourselves. When the seedlings mature, how can they be calculated in years. Hurry, you lose, remember to raise turtles and raise hearts, haha.
If you want to seek ways for the turtle to grow faster: eat more high-protein foods, and continue to eat without hibernation. Eh, guaranteed to grow much faster. Hey, but I just said this, irresponsible oh, it is easy to get a problem without a good middle. Measured it myself.
