Big and small

[lucky]

Herrooo! I was wanting to get a new tort during Christmas and I'm really wanting to keep a baby one. I right now have my beloved Lucky(13") and I'm wondering if they will fight or something, and I have to choose gender, plz help!

The bigger one will squish the baby and will bully the small one

I always choose females when I can....
you will need to keep them seperated.

For now they should be seperated but when the small one catches up a little in a few years you could house them together assuming they had plenty of room as in a whole yard to roam.

I have a real big garden, will I still be able to let them both of them
Out or not a good idea?

Its just gonna depend on how big the new guy is. In all seriousness if the area is pretty big you probably wont have an issue BUT its not a good practice to get into, if you get a baby let it grow up a little.

Good idea, what gender do you think I should get? I've never got a boy, I'll really want to get a male, but I don't know which is the best option for Lucky
