Mixing hatchlings?

[LDB]

I have 4 box turtle hatchlings that are now about 2 months old. I got them from a group of eggs that were in a nonfunctioning incubator and not being cared for. I was able to hatch just the 4 eggs. I have them set up in a habitat and they seem to be doing great.
Today I found two hatchlings in my box turtle pen. These guys are not related to the other hatchlings that I have. These 2 little ones have been in the pen with adults and exposed to the outdoors. I am hesitant to put them with the 4 hatchlings I have already settled in a habitat.
Opinions? Advice? I just want to be safe. Thank you

Quarantine is for everyone.

Never mix clutches.


BTW: Congrats!

I have no issues with mixing clutches and ground hatched with incubator hatched. I always mix clutches for baby aquatic to grow in an indoor enclosure. I also mix ground hatched with incubator hatched of comparable size. As long as all the babies you are talking about are from your own personal collection you have cared for.

Anything from another breeder/source is always quarantined.
