Well first of all you need to quarantine the new arrivals in case they are carrying anything infectious, I'd keep them apart for a minimum of a month and observe them closely for any signs of illness, only put them together when you're certain they are OK.

You need to be careful putting two males together, especially with a single female for them to fight over! Although you say that yours is only a year old, it's normally very difficult if not impossible to sex turts with any certainty before they are around 3 years old, if these two new ones are even younger then it'll be even more difficult.

What makes you think yours is a male?
