The Eastern Mud Turtle is kinda in the middle of the food chain because they are hunted by alligators, muskrats, racoons, and other turtles. All of those animals keep the musk turtle in the middle but the biggest predator of all IS MAN!!!!

I have mine together in the same tank and they are fine so I don't see why not.
Eastern Salamanders eat other little things like Dust mites but outside.
how long do mud turtles live?
Musk mud turtles are primarily found in the southeastern United States, particularly in parts of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. They inhabit slow-moving bodies of water, such as swamps, marshes, and ponds with muddy substrates. These turtles are known for their distinctive musky odor, which gives them their name.
Most mud turtles live in freshwater or partly salty ponds or ditches with lots of plants and alge. in captivity they should be given about 50% water and 50% land so that they can rest. they also need clean water and a good filtration system.
yes because they are very small and turtles eat mostly every thing
Yellow mud turtles have few predators as adults. As eggs and young they are preyed on by skunks, raccoons, other turtles, water snakes, and large predatory fish. When they are threatened they release a strong smell from their bodies which may repel predators.
