How does toothed margin tortoise raise, need bask in the sun?

Toothed turtles are relatively easy to raise. When farming, we need to create an environment for both land and water. The water quality should be clean and the water level should not be too heavy. The water temperature should be controlled between twenty and thirty degrees Celsius, not too low. In terms of diet, you can feed meat or vegetarian food, but it is better to feed live bait. Finally, we should always pay attention to its physical condition, if there is a disease, we should deal with it in time.

1. How to raise the toothed turtle

1. Environment: As a semi-water turtle, the toothed turtle needs both a land environment and a certain water environment to survive. The land needs to maintain a certain humidity, so coconut soil can be used as the land. The water area is mainly shallow, and the best water level is not over the turtle's back.

2. Diet: As an omnivorous turtle, the toothed margin turtle is relatively convenient to feed. In general, it is best to use live bait, such as shrimps and lean meat, which can enhance resistance.

3. Temperature: As a poikilotherm, it is extremely sensitive to temperature. High temperature and cold are not suitable for its growth, will trigger its dormancy, therefore, the most suitable temperature should be controlled at 20 to 30 degrees Celsius.

4. Deworming: The toothed margin turtle can carry some parasites, so we need to deworm it in time to prevent disease infection.

2. do toothed turtles need to bask in the sun

Generally speaking, turtles need to bask in the back. But the toothed turtle likes to hide in the water or in a dark corner, and is not too keen on drying its back. But you can also take the marginal turtle out to bask in the sun in the afternoon, which can enhance resistance and promote growth and development, but not too long, one to two hours.
