Question
Well, I have an African Spur and a Red Foot Tortoise, and I've been wanting a little white mouse for quite some time; can they live in the same habitat that I've set up?

Answer
OK, not only should your mouse not live w/ your torts (mice like to chew on things!!!) your torts should not be in the same habitat.  Your spur thigh comes from a hot dry region of Africa and your redfoot from south american rain forest...  Obviously, somebody is not in the right type of habitat!
