There in a large pen no biggie they don't stay together. I keep them outside for some sun. Have not had any problems yet.I can't watch videos with this weak signal here, but species should not be mixed.
That water bowl is dangerous too.

I am more concerned about a racoon getting into the pen. That is y I keep them indoors at night. They don't live together though. I only take them out in the summer for sun. I understand you guys thanks for the advice though.No one ever has any prolems until they do. You are taking a BIG risk with bo benefit what so ever. Sad but they sre your tortoises to risk I sincerely hopes nothing happens.
As far as the deep dish I don't think they are small enougth to get stuck and drown other wise I would not have used that type of dish. If the dish is lower they stomp all over the water and get dirt in there.

ahh I see. Sometimes I use the flat ones for water when I "think" they are not getting water.Glad you are still here. The issue with the water dish is that the sides are too tall and steep. The tortoise has to tip itself way up to get in and out of it. Last year we had a member come home to find her russian drowned in a bowl similar to that.Another member found her tortoise upside down in it, but luckily still alive. Something with low sides sunk into the ground is the way to go. If they are not comfortable with their dish, they will often just not drink. Substrate and dirt tracked into the water is a good sign that they are comfortable with their dish and not afraid to use it. I use terra cotta saucers and dig out a little hole for them to sit in. They are good for the food too.
