New Friend?

[Lou101]

Good Day Everyone

So i got another tortoise yesterday that is considerably larger than my other little one.

I was wondering if i can putt them in the same pen or must i keep them separate in 2 different ones ?
I must make a new one anyhow seeing as i got a larger one now to care for too.
I'm just worried about not knowing if they will fight or something ?
Any advice will be much appreciated.
I have added a pic of them next to each other. The smaller one is about the size of the palm of my hand.

Thank You

It would be best to keep them separated.

That's not a friend, that's a competitor. Separate before the bullying starts.

Besides what has already been said, you really should quarantine any new animal before adding it to your existing tortoise's yard.

Definitely seperate. I have different sizes of Redfoots and will not mix significant sizes. There is bullying, the big guy eating all the food and the big one getting in top of the baby and taking a long nap. Not good.
