Razor tortoises can lay 2-4 eggs at a time, but can lay 2-3 eggs per year, so they can lay 4-12 eggs per year. Depending on the environment in which they are raised and the food they are fed, the number of eggs they lay each time varies. Razor turtles usually start laying eggs in April and June. They lay their eggs in soft soil. The eggs they lay are white and oval. If the environment is suitable, the eggs can hatch into small turtles after three months.

1. How many eggs

do razor turtles lay at a time? Razor turtles can lay about 2-4 eggs at a time. They can lay eggs 2-3 times a year, that is to say, they can lay 4-12 eggs a year. How many eggs they can lay depends on the environment in which they are raised and the food they are fed. If the environment is better and the food is more abundant, they will lay more eggs. If the environment is poor, the number of eggs they lay will also decrease.

In addition, if the razor turtle is just mature, then the number of eggs they lay will be relatively small, this situation will only occur in the first breeding razor turtle. Razor turtles usually start laying eggs in April and June. They lay their eggs in soft soil. If the environment is suitable for laying eggs, they can hatch in 80-90 days.

Water level: Although the razor turtle is a deep water turtle, the water level of the small razor turtle should not be too deep, because their swimming ability is poor at this time. The breeder can adjust the water level according to their size, and the height can be controlled a little higher than the carapace.

2. Water quality: Razor turtles are sensitive to environmental changes when they are hatched, so breeders need to maintain good water quality. If conditions permit, a circulating filtration system can be installed in the container, and then food residues can be cleaned up in time after each feeding to ensure clean water quality.

3. Feeding: The growth rate of the little razor turtle is relatively fast, so the breeder had better choose to feed it every day, preferably twice a day. Because of their small size, breeders need to cut their food into palatable sizes before feeding them. Food can choose loach, shrimp, red worms and so on.
