I am wondering if I can keep my Russians and my 3 toed in the same enclosure over the summer.

No, I wouldn't suggest it. Mixing different species together is not a good idea. There a risk of cross infections. A pathagin that doesn't bother one may make the other very sick

Again I have to agree with Itort. Mixing species is not the best thing for them. Each species has its own special needs plus each species caries different bacteria and protozoa that could be harmful to the other. I personally would not take the risk.
