? Razor turtles are difficult to raise because they are timid and are not suitable for mixed breeding with other musk turtles and other turtles. Even if they are raised separately, they should be placed in a shelter in a container. When razor turtles are frightened, their mental state and living conditions will change, and many razor turtles will not eat after being frightened, so many breeders will mistakenly think that they are suffering from diseases. What's more, they need to bask in the sun every day, because basking in the sun can kill most of the bacteria on their carapaces. If razor turtles can't bask in the sun, they will be easily infected by bacteria and die.
