1. why can't Brazilian tortoises raise two

? Many breeders think that "one mountain can't tolerate two tigers", and Brazilian tortoises are more aggressive, so many breeders will not raise two or more. The adult size of Brazilian tortoises can reach 15-25 centimeters. They need 5-6 times as much space as their body length. If they keep two, they need a larger container, so many breeders keep one Brazilian tortoise in a container.

In fact, there is no rigid rule that only one Brazilian tortoise can be kept. If the container is big enough and the two tortoises will not fight, it is possible to keep two. Many senior turtle breeders can keep several Brazilian turtles in a container.

2. Can the Brazilian tortoise be mixed with other tortoises?

The Brazilian tortoise can be mixed with other tortoises. The tortoises suitable for mixing with the Brazilian tortoise are yellow-eared tortoise, map tortoise, brocade tortoise, etc. These kinds of tortoises are mild in character, and their habits are similar to those of the Brazilian tortoise, so they are suitable for mixing together. But Brazilian tortoises grow in size as adults and become more territorial as they age, so they need to be given plenty of space when mixed with other tortoises. And the Brazilian tortoise has a strong ability to grab food, so the breeder needs to focus on feeding other tortoises.
