Grass turtles don't fight under normal breeding, because they are gentle and their attack power is not very strong, so they generally don't fight. However, there are some cases where they will fight. For example, they have a strong sense of territory. If there is not enough space for breeding, they will fight for the chassis. Also, when they are hungry, they will fight for food. Besides, when they are in heat, they will fight if two male turtles are together.
Do grass turtles fight and can they be mixed 1. Do grass turtles fight

Grass turtles generally don't fight, because they are mild in character among turtles, and their aggressiveness is not very strong, so they won't fight without special circumstances.

Although grass turtles are gentle in character, they also fight in special circumstances. For example, when there is not enough breeding space, they will fight. Because grass turtles also have a strong sense of territory and are larger in size as adults, if they are raised in smaller containers, they will fight. In addition, when food is scarce, they will fight for food.

In addition to competing for resources, grass turtles will become grumpy after estrus. If two male turtles in estrus are put together, they have a great chance of fighting.

2. Can grass turtles be polybred

grass turtles can be polybred. They are mild in character, have low requirements for the environment, and have strong adaptability, so they are suitable for polybred with other turtles. But in polyculture, breeders need to pay attention to their habits. Grass turtles are shallow water turtles and cannot live in deep water, so they cannot be mixed with deep water turtles. In addition, grass turtles are gentle in character, and mixed turtles should also choose gentle in character, so that grass turtles are not easy to get hurt.

To sum up, the turtles suitable for polyculture with grass turtles are flower turtles, yellow-throated water turtles, map turtles, knife-backed musk turtles, pearl turtles and so on.
