Can i put babies with 3 month old babies

[Edge1989]

Hi,

Ive got two yellow bellied turtles named Michaelanjelo and Raphael. I just recently got a much bigger tank. They are only 3 months old, and was wondering if i can put another 2 babies in with them? hope someone can help. Also is there any other type of under water animal that can live with them.

Many thanks Greg

yellow belly got rather large so having two means you will need a really large tank or a pond at some point in the future so the question is have you got the space and money to add two more to the equation which will need a really large tank or pond also in the future. this is one of my largest females at an amazing 14inch shell length

Man that turtle is epic in size, thats so cool. thanks man yeh im aware i need to get a bigger tank, i recently got a 5 feet in left tank and like 3 in height and 1 and a half in depth. I have been told i could get 4 in there while they were young.

Any more help please man?

What mariekni is trying to put across is it doesn't matter if you can house them when they are young... but whether you can afford to/have space to house them when they are adults.
Personally i'd stick with the two

yeah you can whilst they are young but they WILL out grow it. as long as you think what you will do in the future.

yep exactly my point i just didnt put it across very well

Ah thanks, yeh i can definately afford it, as i can get discount on much larger tanks or even ponds as i work at a animal feeds place and the companies we get stuff off sell them, so yeh all sorted. So do you think babies about 50p size will be fine with babies around 3"s maybe less?

You guys are a great help btw

[mariekni]

yeah they should be ok but just keep an eye on them just incase something happens. can we see pics please.

[Edge1989]

yeah sure, here is 2 pic, taken off my phone so not that good but will get some more tomorrow.
