Spotted pond turtles can be polybred, but polybred is not recommended. Although they are gentle and not afraid of people, they have high requirements for the environment and like to live in water temperature of 22-30 ℃. Moreover, their feeding speed is relatively slow, and when breeders mix, other turtles can easily take away their food. If conditions permit, it is not recommended to mix spotted pond turtles with other turtles.
Can spotted pond turtle be mixed and how to raise it 1. Can spotted pond turtle be mixed?

spotted pond turtle can be mixed, but it is best not to mix. Many breeders think that they are lively, gentle and can interact with humans, so it will not be a problem to mix with other turtles. However, spotted pond turtles have high requirements on the environment. The suitable water temperature for their growth is between 22-30 ℃. When the water temperature is lower than 15 ℃, they will stop eating and moving. In addition, they eat slowly, and if they are mixed with other turtles, it is difficult for them to grab food. Over time, spotted pond turtles will suffer from malnutrition, poor physique and frequent illness. Therefore, if conditions permit, it is best not to mix spotted pond turtles with other turtles.

2. How to raise spotted pond turtles

1. Feeding containers: spotted pond turtles need to be bred in breeding ponds, and the ponds for raising them should be built into "water and land" types, and the height of water level can be controlled above the carapace.

2. Water temperature: Spotted pond turtle has high requirements on water temperature, and breeders need to keep the water temperature between 22-30 ℃. After they go into hibernation, breeders also need to keep the water temperature between 10-14 ℃.

3. Water quality: The spotted pond turtle does not require high water quality, so long as it is clean and refreshing. Breeders can clean up food residues and feces after each feeding, which can slow down the deterioration of water quality.

4. Feeding: The spotted pond turtle can be fed once a day, and it is best to control the feeding amount at 7-80% full each time. They prefer animal feed, and breeders can feed them more small fish, shrimp, lean meat, animal viscera and so on.
