:I have a mixed habitat that I like very well. It contains a mature male Russian tortoise, a small yearling sulcata tortoise and two button quail. They seem to get along just fine and there has been no signs of any cross species illnesses.
I think that often the reason that cross species illnesses happen is unsanitary conditions and stress on the animals. But there is a certain ammount of luck involved- you are playing a game of russian roulette. Just know that if something happens to the animals you will probably never know if mixing species was the cause.
