Sulcata and Box Turtle

[Savannah Neal]

A baby box turtle and a baby sulcata being housed in the same enclosure? Opinions? Help?

 

[Yvonne G]

My opinion is: turtles and tortoises that evolved on different continents from each other should never be housed together (not to mention that the sulcata's bulldozer-like marching, even when a baby, may harm the more fragile baby box turtle).

Species should never be mixed.

These two species have very different care and feeding requirements too.

My opinion: They need separate enclosures.

You are asking for trouble not only different feeding requirements, but that sulcata is going to outgrow that boxie by leaps and bounds, and it may end up hurting it or worst

Dont mix just as they said

Put them in separate enclosures to ensure that biting doesn't happen
