There are many contradicting posts in the internet. Let's vote Yes or No and find out.
I think another thing that has to be taken into consideration first and foremost is how they are doing it Male to Female ratio and also size of enclosure and sight barriers, number of hides and feeding stations. Just to say yes it can be done, does not tell the whole story of how can it be done.Thanks Wellington. Now it's a tie. 3 all. My friends are breeders for more than a decade already. If my question is about russian tortoises, most probably they will all say No. And I will say no also. I'm just curious with stars.
How big is your tortoise?In my opinion it is a yes! And that will count 4 all. Let's see how will it work. I will add some hiding place and a separate food dishes. Currently I have an extra large rabbit cage like 3x4 feet with soil, bermuda grasses, cactus plants, forest floor substrate, exo terra tortoise cave and a power sun.

The quarantine point is a good one. You should always keep a new tortoise entirely separately in quarantine for at least 6 months before introduction. This is to ensure that neither makes the other sick
3x4 is not extra large in tortoise husbandry. That size cage along says NO. A 4x8 is minimum for one smaller species, Russians, Hermans, etc as and adult and hopefully that's with also an outdoor enclosure. Your 3x4 is fine for one hatchling and no where near big enough for one adult let alone two.In my opinion it is a yes! And that will count 4 all. Let's see how will it work.
