Introducing Indian Stars to each other

[Jim_staffs]

as you can see from the below link, i now have 3 Juvenile Indian Stars, 2 are roughly the same size and about 18 moths old the 3rd (the smaller one) is only about 16 weeks old, at what sort of size/age can i introduce this one to the 2 larger ones to raise up together.

Hi,
Could you tell us what weights they are please. It's difficult these days with good cameras to tell what size photo subjects are. Thanks.

The little one looks bigger in the picture judging by those weights. All three are stunning. If you make sure they are all getting their fair share of food I don't see any issue in putting them all together. I have just the one but have had baby leopards all through the years. Some babies would happily co-exist with babies 3-4 times their size while others wouldn't do well at all. I suppose it comes down to the individual personality and it's a trial and error process. If you notice the baby thriving all well and good but if it becomes reclusive and intimidated it would be best to remove it. Remember though it can take a few weeks for a tort to feel comfortable in a new enclosure, others it can take a few days.
Personally I'd leave it for the time being until more weight has been gained so it can afford to lose some in the settling in process.
When I took my star from a table to a viv it went down to 199g from 216. Now it's a few weeks later and back up to 242g and eating like a pig.
