Is it safe to put babies in with larger turtles? More specifically, would it be okay to put a 1 1/2 inch baby in with my 3 1/2 inch turtle Eggplant?
Eggplant likes to nom everything, so I'm kind of scared to put any others in with it.

I would not risk it. You could try it but you would have to keep a very close watch over the little one and if anything did happen, you would need to separate them. But it is more likely that the little one would get injured.

Two same-sized turtles is rolling the dice, do not pair a baby turtle with a juvenile.

Yep, you shouldn't pair turtles together unless their sizes are similar.

Alright, thanks! I wasn't sure how aggressive young turtles are.
