with what kind of tortoise. Grass tortoise can be raised with yellow-throated tortoise, knife-backed musk tortoise, pearl tortoise, etc. Yellow-throated turtles are easy to raise, their favorite water temperature is 18-32 C, and they do not require high water quality, which is very suitable for polyculture with grass turtles.
The knife-backed musk turtle is gentle and, like the grass turtle, likes to sun its back. Like grass tortoises, musk tortoises live in shallow water with slow flow. Both of them have mild habits and personalities and are suitable for polyculture. Pearl turtles, on the other hand, like to live in groups, usually two together. Therefore, if they are raised with grass turtles, they can also quickly adapt to the life of polyculture.
should we pay attention to in the polyculture of grass turtles? 1. Water quality: If there are more turtles in the polyculture, the water quality will easily deteriorate. The breeder needs to clean up the food residue after each feeding, and change the water after each feeding.
2. Space: Grass tortoises need more space to move. If the breeder wants to mix with other tortoises, he needs to prepare a larger container. The size of the container should be at least 5 times the size of the grass tortoise.
3. Drying platform: Grass turtles have the habit of drying their backs and will not live in water for a long time. Tortoises that can be mixed with it have similar habits, and breeders need to prepare a slightly larger drying platform so that all tortoises can better bask in the sun and rest.
