When will the turtle grow?

It takes three to five years to grow up.

Because the annual growth period of soft-shelled turtle is only 6 months, its growth and development are slow, and it varies with local climatic conditions and feeding techniques. If "heating culture method" is adopted, the culture cycle can be shortened by 1 ~ 2 years.

Heating culture method: In order to reduce the cost of raising soft-shelled turtle and save energy, the main method of heating culture of commercial soft-shelled turtle is to build a plastic greenhouse on the soft-shelled turtle pond, which can generally raise the water temperature by 5℃ compared with outdoor. Where there are geothermal water resources, such as plastic greenhouses, introducing geothermal water is more conducive to the growth of soft-shelled turtles. Using underground hot water, build a plastic greenhouse with steel frame, and control the indoor water temperature at 25 ~ 30℃. At the same time, artificial compound feed is fed and scientific feeding management is carried out, so that about 4 grams of young soft-shelled turtle can reach the commodity specifications after one year of feeding, which is more than three times faster than that of soft-shelled turtle cultured under natural conditions.
