What do Chinese tortoises think of male and female? Can male and female be raised together?

1. How to look at the male and female

of the Chinese tortoise? 1. Look at the body shape: The body shape of the Chinese tortoise is quite different. The female tortoise is larger. The length of the carapace is about 25 centimeters, the width can reach 18-20 centimeters, and the weight can reach about 4.5 kilograms. Male tortoises are small in size, with a carapace length of about 18 centimeters, a width of about 15 centimeters, and a weight of about 1 kilogram.

2. Look at the tail: The tail of the female turtle is slender and longer than that of the male turtle. The tail of the male is stubby, and male characteristics appear when the carapace of the male is more than 10 centimeters.

3. Look at the distance from the anus to the plastron: the distance between the anal hole of the female tortoise and the posterior edge of the plastron is relatively close, while the distance between the anal hole of the male tortoise and the posterior edge of the plastron is far.

2. Can the male and female Chinese tortoises be raised

together? The male and female Chinese tortoises can be raised together, because the tortoises are social animals. Generally, two or more tortoises live together, up to 7-8 tortoises can live together. The ratio of male and female tortoises of different sexes should be paid attention to. It is recommended that the ratio of male and female tortoises be raised according to 2:1. Generally, it is most appropriate to raise 2-3 tortoises at home. When raising male and female tortoises together, we should pay attention to their body shape. If the difference in body shape is 1 times, they can not be mixed together.
