Musk turtles can be mixed with turtles such as yellow-headed side-necked turtles and razor turtles. Musk turtles are generally not mixed with other turtles, because they are also irritable. Moreover, their musk glands eject an irritating gas, which is unfavorable to other turtles. If it is necessary to mix, choose turtles with similar size to them. Yellow-headed side-necked turtles or razor fish with the same habits can be selected for polyculture.
What kind of turtle can musk turtle be mixed with, and how to design the mixed culture environment 1. What kind of turtle can musk turtle be mixed with

Musk turtle is suitable for mixing with yellow-headed side-necked turtle or razor turtle. Because they are small turtles, if they are mixed with other large turtles, they may be bullied. At the same time, they belong to deep-water turtles, so we should choose turtles with the same habits. You can choose yellow-headed side-necked turtle or razor turtle to mix together.

2. How to design the environment for polyculture turtles

During polyculture, sunken wood, aquatic plants, small particles of sand and stones, etc. can be put into the turtle tank. The depth of water in turtle tanks is about five centimeters, because they like to live in deep water environment. When placing sunken wood, it is best to have a part of sunken wood sticking out of the water, so that they can bask in the sun and rest on it. They usually like to hide and play in aquatic plants. At the same time, they can also eat aquatic plants in turtle tanks. Although they are small in size, defecate very little and eat very little food, they still need to clean up the residue in turtle tanks in time to prevent them from polluting the water quality and breeding a large number of bacteria. It is enough to clean them once a week, because they are very timid. Once they are frightened, their health will have problems.
