Grass turtles can cross with turtles such as yellow-throated water turtles, Japanese stone turtles, flower turtles, four-eyed spotted turtles, yellow-edged closed-shell turtles, yellow-forehead closed-shell turtles, Amber closed-shell turtles, three-line closed-shell turtles and saw-edged closed-shell turtles, but most breeders will choose to cross them with Chinese flower turtles. Because both grass turtles and flower turtles belong to native turtles in China, their varieties and habits are similar, and the hybrid offspring are not only large in quantity, but also high in quality.
What turtles can grass turtles cross with and mix with 1. What turtles can grass turtles cross with

There are many kinds of grass turtles that can cross, such as flower turtles, four-eyed spotted turtles, yellow-edged closed-shell turtles, yellow-forehead closed-shell turtles, cloth closed-shell turtles, three-line closed-shell turtles, saw-edged closed-shell turtles, yellow-throated water turtles, Japanese stone turtles and so on. However, the most common way is to cross them with Chinese turtles, because both Chinese grass turtles and Chinese turtles are native turtles in China, and their shapes are not much different, and their living habits are similar, so the chances of successful hybridization are relatively high.

2. What turtles can grass turtles be mixed with

grass turtles can be mixed with knife-backed musk turtles, yellow-throated water turtles, map turtles, pearl turtles, etc. These turtles are similar in character to grass turtles, and they are all mild, so it is not easy to fight when raised together. In addition, these turtles have low requirements for the environment, and have strong adaptability, so they are more suitable for polyculture with grass turtles.

If breeders put two or more turtles together for polyculture, the water quality may deteriorate rapidly, and breeders need to change water frequently to ensure the clean water quality of their lives. These kinds of turtles have the habit of basking in their backs. Breeders need to build more balconies so that they can climb up and bask in the sun anytime and anywhere. When grass turtles grow up, they eat vegetarian food, so breeders should pay attention to the types of food they feed. In addition, grass turtles have poor ability to grab food, so it is best for breeders to feed them alone.
