This will depend on the age and size of the two animals. Tortoises become mature at around 8 years. So long as the two animals are the same species, healthy and roughly the same size*, this would not be a problem. *There may be a difference in size between male and female tortoises, which will differ from species to species.

I used to have two red-eared slider turtles. The older one was quite larger than the younger one. Knowing what it was like, I would not recommend putting two different sized turtles together.

When I would feed them, the larger one would eat all the food before the little one had a chance, and if the little one miraculously got to the food first, the larger one would snap at it, sometimes catching onto it's shell or hand/foot. Eventually, I had to separate them while feeding.

Also, just co-habitating the aquarium, I found that the smaller turtle would get trampled on quite often by the bigger turtle.

There were many times when they would live peacefully, but it was always a worry whether or not the bigger one would seriously hurt the smaller one.

Now I only have the big turtle. My small turtle got ill and died earlier this year, in causes not related to the big guy... R.I.P. :(

In the end, it's up to you whether or not you'd like to mix them. Wish you the best of luck!

Yes, they can. This doesn't mean there will be any reproductive outcome, though.

Yes, just make sure the bigger turtle doesn't steal the baby turtles food.
