Matters needing attention in breeding and hatching of razor turtles, how to raise small turtles that have just come out of their shells

When razor turtles breed, pay attention to the quiet surrounding environment and don't disturb their mating. When hatching turtle eggs, we should first pay attention to the stability of the environment. During hatching, the temperature should be kept stable, and there should be no large temperature difference, otherwise it will affect the success rate of hatching. Secondly, we should pay attention to the humidity, and the breeder should spray water regularly into the incubator to ensure that the humidity is above 80%. Finally, pay attention to regular observation. If broken eggs are found, they need to be cleaned and fished in time to avoid polluting other eggs.

1. Precautions for breeding and hatching of razor turtles

When razor turtles breed, breeders should pay attention to the quiet mating environment and not make too much noise, otherwise it will affect their mating process.

When hatching, first of all, pay attention to the temperature stability in the incubator, and it is best to use heating equipment to keep the temperature constant, so as to avoid the large temperature difference between morning and evening.

Secondly, to keep the humidity in the incubator, breeders need to spray water into the incubator every day to ensure that the humidity in the incubator is above 80%.

Finally, pay attention to regular observation. Breeders can shine with flashlights once a day to see if there are broken turtle eggs. If an egg is found to be broken, it needs to be taken out immediately to avoid affecting the hatching of other eggs.

2. How to raise the newly-hatched razor turtle

The newly-hatched razor turtle can't adapt well to the external environment. Breeders need to keep the surrounding environment stable, keep the water temperature at about 24 ℃, keep the water quality clean and refreshing, and minimize the amount and frequency of water change.

In addition, newborn razor turtles carry vitellotin around their umbilical cord, and breeders need to wait for their vitellotin to be absorbed before feeding food. Razor turtles that have just emerged from their shells can be fed with some minced meat, such as fish, shrimp, freeze-dried red worms, etc. They need a lot of food, and it is best for breeders to feed them twice a day, so as to meet their food needs.
