mixing Razorback Musk turtles

[robroy]

We've a solitary Razorback Musk turtle-approx 4" carapace length.
The LFS near us are filled with hatchling Razorback and Common Musk turtles. Could I put a common Musk this size in with him? I'm guessing they're cannibalistic and its a no-no but thought I'd ask. I've put the odd small fish in with it as means of a growout with no problems at all in the past

Tank 30"x12" and well filtered.

anyone?

I would try. I see no problem.

I have to disagree, a hatchling with an adult could easily be injured or bullied during feeding time. But you could always grow out the baby until it's a larger size and then add it to the adult musk's tank later.

it sounds kinda sketchy, and i would keep a close eye on them if you did house them together

Ive kept various size musks together, but never that much of a size difference. If you want to get another, I would advise keeping them separate for a while while the hatchling grows.
