Flame turtles and grass turtles can be raised together, their size difference is not big, the living water temperature and water quality requirements are similar, so they can be mixed together. Moreover, they have a gentle personality and generally do not attack other turtles on their own initiative. So there will be no fighting when they are mixed together. But the flame tortoise is more active, and the two kinds of tortoises are bigger when they grow up, so the breeder should prepare a bigger container for them to ensure their better growth.
1. can the flame turtle and the grass turtle be raised
together? The flame turtle and the grass turtle can be raised together. First of all, there is little difference in their size, and there will be no bullying of one side by the other. Secondly, they have similar requirements for water temperature and quality, and breeders do not need to adjust them deliberately. Moreover, both of them are gentle and will not attack each other actively under normal circumstances, so they are suitable for mixed breeding.
However, in polyculture, the breeder needs to ensure sufficient space, because the activity of the flame turtle is high, and it needs more space to move back and forth. Moreover, grass turtles and flame turtles are relatively large when they grow up, and if there is not enough space, it will affect their normal development. Therefore, it is better for breeders to prepare a larger container during polyculture to ensure that they grow bigger. The Brazilian tortoise or the Brazilian yellow-eared tortoise is
more suitable for polyculture with the flame tortoise. Because the flame tortoise is a subspecies of the Brazilian tortoise, their environmental requirements and living habits are similar, so it is very suitable for polyculture together. But it's better for breeders to start mixing together at an early age, so that they can get used to each other's existence from an early age, which can reduce a lot of fighting. Flame tortoises are more active in adulthood, but Brazilian tortoises are more ferocious. If breeders find them fighting, it is better to keep them separately.
