So I'm going to try to keep 2 hermit crabs in with my tortoise. Hopefully they will clean the enclosure of any food Isaac has dropped, poop, and any other organic material that could mold or stink up over time. I know Isaac is a sulcata but his enclosure is basically a redfoot or box turtle enclosure right now while he is vulnerable to pyramiding. The enclosure is very humid and has the ideal substrate for hermit crabs. I have moved anything that would make them capable to climb out on and added a small hide that Isaac cant fit into for them. I also added a water bowl with a sponge.
The two hermit crabs are small and very fast. They have done their best to keep clear of the tortoise. I know keeping two species together can be wrong but I am testing this thing out to see if a symbiotic relationship is possible. Right now the enclosure is perfect for the two species. I will update later.
