That is really unusual. I hope the separation won't be traumatic for either of them. :(

I know, I was thinking the same thing. So sad they're going to do that to them. :(

Yeah I wouldn't separate them. If they are getting along fine with each other why bother. Plus it could seriously stress out the turtle and the hippo. It wouldn't be good especially since the turtle is old and the hippo was just rescued and very young.
