bad idea... lots of undue stress on both animals. Also, Uros are desert animals and crabs are from humid environments, doesn't really compute. If you want to give the crabs some exercise, put a tiny bit of warm water in the bathtub and let them frolic in there for a while, they love it.
(100 gallon tank?? Lucky, lucky Uro...)

No. they're going to likely wrestle to death, or finally end up hurting one yet another significantly. Lizards will want a warmth lamp, which will finally end up to be too warm on your rodents, and hermit crab does suitable in sand. All hamsters choose their own area, and they're going to likely wrestle with the others for his or her own area. also, a 10 gallon tank isn't sufficiently vast to slot all of those animals, or perhaps a million hamster is a possibly in a 10 gallon tank. And one water grant tank? I mean come on. Hermit crab and lizards received't drink from a water bottle, so that they're going to need a flat water holder. in spite of the indisputable fact that the rodents will splash that water all round, requiring for you to do time-honored water and bedding ameliorations. do not try this. it isn't an fairly sturdy selection. inspite of the reality that I comprehend that you're keen on animals, preserving them in a unmarried cage will mean that you only isn't the owner of those pets for a lengthy time period.

I highly recommend against it. I am in lizard rescue and know that they will try to eat anything small that moves. Your lizards can also pick up disease from the hermit crabs. Its really a lose lose situation.

no because the lizard will try to eat it and the crab will hurt the lizard if it got the chance, and also a 100 gal tank is to big for them.
