The lifespan of the Burmese star tortoise is generally 30-50 years. The lifespan of the Burmese star tortoise is related to factors such as food and environment. Burmese star turtle is a vegetarian animal food, mainly vegetables and fruits, and the ratio of vegetables and fruits can be 7:3 (more vegetables and less fruits). Generally, red foods such as tomatoes or cucumbers and apples are used to lure the Burmese star turtle to eat. Although the Burmese star turtle likes to eat apples, it will have indigestion, so it should not be fed too much.

The bait should be washed and disinfected before feeding to prevent residual pesticides and hazardous substances. Generally, it is fed once a day, and the amount of each feeding is suitable for the Burmese star turtle to eat. In the early spring and late autumn, due to the unstable temperature, it can be fed once every 2 days. Even if the Burmese star turtle has an appetite, it should be fed less or not.
You can choose a fish tank or a wooden box for raising the Burmese star turtle. The container may not be too high, but it should be as spacious as possible. The length and width are preferably more than 3 times that of the Burmese star turtle. The Burmese star turtle is an animal that likes warmth, so we must pay attention to the appropriate temperature for keeping warm: 25~30 degrees Celsius during the day (it is necessary to maintain this temperature after eating), and 20~25 degrees Celsius at night.
