Introducing new turtles

[Cerys92]

Hello I have two new female razorback musks that I will be introducing to the male and female I already have. The two new ones are currently in a separate tank but I plan on putting them into the indoor pond with the other two. I just have a few questions..
How long should I keep them separate for?
And are there any recommended ways to introduce them or is it a case of putting them in and leaving them?
Thanks in advance Cerys

Length of recommended quarantine period will vary. Some say 60 days with two clean fecals on each of the turtles, others recommend up to a year.

For me it depends on the animals history and the source.
