Razor turtles can be crossed with musk turtles, and their reproduction rate and quality are relatively high after hybridization, so many breeders will choose them for hybridization. In addition to musk turtle, razor turtle can also cross with other species of musk turtle, but the quantity and quality of cross are not particularly good, and even if the offspring are crossed, their physique will not be very good. Therefore, it is best for breeders to cross musk turtles with razor turtles.
What turtle can razor turtle cross with and how to breed 1. What turtles can razor turtles cross with

Razor turtles can cross with many turtles, but the most common one is that razor turtles cross with musk turtles. Because the number of hybrids between them is very high, both in terms of breeding number and hatching rate, many breeders will choose to cross them with musk turtles. In addition to musk turtles, breeders can also cross them with other species of turtles in other genus musk turtles. But with other turtles, the quantity and quality of breeding will not be very good, so it is better to cross with musk turtles.

2. How do razor turtles reproduce

1. Choose turtles: Razor turtles need to reach mature age before they can reproduce. Generally speaking, female turtles need to reach 4-5 years old, and male turtles need to reach 5-6 years old before they can reproduce. Before breeding, breeders need to select turtles with strong physique and lively movements.

2. Mating: Razor turtles usually start mating in March every year. During mating, male turtles will keep chasing female turtles, but female turtles will ignore them at first. But after being chased by the male turtles, they stop moving and let the male turtles climb on their backs to mate.

3. Oviposition: After successful mating in March, they will reproduce from April to August, especially from May to July, which is the peak period of reproduction. Normally, female turtles can produce 3-4 times a year and 16 pieces a year.

4. Hatching: After the razor turtle lays eggs, the breeder needs to put the eggs in the incubator to hatch. The razor turtle hatches for a long time, usually 80-90 days.
