It is very necessary to breed razor turtles and give them sunshine. Because razor turtles have a lot of benefits to bask in the sun, it is necessary to give them regular sunshine. If they are not exposed to the sun for a long time, they will suffer from soft nails, soft legs, malnutrition and so on. Sunning razor turtles can enhance calcium absorption in their bodies, reduce the occurrence of rickets, kill bacteria and parasites on their bodies, and improve their own resistance.
However, when they are allowed to bask in the sun, they should not be exposed to the sun, which can easily kill the turtles. It should be noted that they need shade while basking in the sun. In this way, it is necessary to set up a cool place for them to avoid the sun while placing the sunning table in the tank. Small tiles or shorter plants can be, water areas should also be set in the shade, do not let the sun directly insolate water areas, so that razor turtles can adjust the time and location of the sun. In addition, we should pay attention not to bask in the sun when the temperature difference is very large, such as cold winter or hot summer sun, it is best not to give them the sun, other times can be.
There is no strict time requirement for razor turtles to bask in the sun for two or three hours a day, or five or six hours a day. It's better to give them sunshine once a week. Sun in the morning and afternoon sunset is better, it is best not to sun at noon, noon sun temperature is too high will affect their healthy growth. It is OK to have natural light at ordinary times.
