Other Turtle Discussion :: What pace should my turtle be growing at?

[ataraxiamb]

I got my turtle 10 months ago at 2". He is now 2.5", and I think close to 2 years old. Is he growing at the right pace?

Does this mean he'll be a smaller size as an adult?

He is a bit small, but they all don't grow at the same pace. What's his diet like?

[ataraxiamb]

M W F he gets pellets (the amount that would fit in his empty head), and he always has aquatic plants to eat. He gets a blueberry or two once or twice a month.

The diet sounds fine, maybe mix it up with different pellets. What kind are you using now?

[ataraxiamb]

A cheapo brand. I just ordered him some Mazuri.
