Musk turtle can cross with razor turtle, and most breeders will choose to cross musk turtle with razor turtle, because the success rate of hybridization is relatively high, and the offspring produced are also relatively good in physique. In addition to razor turtles, breeders can also cross musk turtles with giant musk turtles and tiger musk turtles, but the quality of offspring produced by crossing with other varieties is not as good as that of razor turtles.
2. How to reproduce musk turtles1. Select suitable turtles: Breeders should select mature musk turtles before they can reproduce. Generally speaking, male turtles will mature in 4-8 years. Female turtles only mature in 5-9 years.
2. Mating: After the breeding conditions are met, the breeder can put the male turtle and the female turtle together and keep the temperature at about 25 ℃. Musk turtles mate in water, and they mate for a long time. In the process of mating, breeders need to keep their surroundings quiet and avoid manual intervention.
3. Production: Some time after mating, the mother turtle begins to lay eggs. When laying eggs, the male turtle will dig a nest with the female turtle, and then the female turtle will lay the eggs in the dug pit, and then bury them with soil before leaving.
4. Hatching: The breeder needs to put the eggs in a special incubator, and ensure that the temperature and humidity are appropriate. After about 60-80 days, they can hatch successfully.
