"Sun turtle" is not a specific breed of turtle. It is a nickname for a group of turtle species known as Painted Turtles. There are four different types of painted turtles, Eastern Painted, Midland Painted, Southern Painted and Western Painted. Each one has it's own specific dietary requirements. Because sun turtles do not exist and is just a nickname for a group called Painted Turtles, which there are four different species of, you will need to find out exactly which species of painted turtle you own before dietary requirements can be recommended.

A mother painted turtle does not provide direct care for her hatchlings after they emerge. Instead, she lays her eggs in a nest dug into the ground and leaves them to develop independently. Once the baby turtles hatch, they rely on their instinct to find their way to water and begin their lives on their own, facing various challenges in the wild. The mother’s role is limited to ensuring the eggs are laid in a safe environment.
