Musk tortoises can be polycultured. They are small in size and gentle in character. They are suitable for polyculture with other tortoises. When choosing mixed turtles, the first thing to pay attention to is that the size gap should not be too large. The adult musk tortoise is about 8-14 centimeters in size, which is relatively small and needs to be mixed with other small tortoises. The second is to choose a gentle personality to avoid fighting with them. Specifically, they can be mixed with razor turtles, yellow-headed and side-necked turtles and other species.

1. Can musk tortoises be mixed

? Musk tortoises can be mixed. They are gentle and adaptable. They are very suitable for mixing with other tortoises. However, when choosing polyculture tortoises, breeders should pay attention to the fact that the size difference should not be too large, because musk tortoises are small and can only grow up to 14 centimeters after adulthood. If the polyculture tortoises are too large, they will bully musk tortoises.

Secondly, the personality should be mild, because the musk turtle's personality is relatively mild, will not take the initiative to attack other turtles, so the mixed turtle should also choose a mild personality. Finally, there are tortoises with the same habits. Musk tortoises are deep water tortoises, so they should be mixed with tortoises with the same habits.

2. What

should we pay attention to in the polyculture of musk turtles? 1. Space: Musk turtles need more space. If they are mixed with other turtles, they need to prepare a larger container to avoid fighting for territory.

2. Feeding: When musk turtles are mixed, it is better to feed them separately to avoid conflicts due to competition for food. Moreover, musk turtles are carnivorous, and the food they like is not necessarily the same as other turtles. Feeding them separately can make them grow better.

3. Water quality: If more tortoises are raised, the water quality will easily deteriorate. The breeder needs to change the water frequently. If conditions permit, a circulating filtration system can be installed.
