Default Can you put..

Sorry to start another one of these theards.. wasnt sure where to put this thears
Hope this is the right section.
Anyway..
I would like to start by saying im not planning to mix them.. i dont even own them i am just curious

I was reading that in the wild that some crabs and srimps cling onto sea turtles and clean there shells .. now im pretty sure you cant get sea turles as pets (but not defient(sp))

So anyway..
Could you mix shrimps and turltes together?

Please no arguing, i dont know much about turtles and as said before just wondering..!

Thanks

Well seeing as I occasionally feed shrimps to turtles...I feel this partnership would not work out so well, for the little clawed dudes.

I know its a bit different to what your asking but I've read that you can keep land hermit crabs with redfoots. They eat the bugs that appear in the warm damp substrate as well as left over food and poop, just keeping the place clean really. And they need the same enviroment that redfoots do, so would coexist well. Don't do it myself but mine are just babies so are easy to clean out but for an adults enclosure it would be interesting to try

Just thought you might find it interesting
