    Red foot mouth injury in crease/corner?

    Hello! So my Red foot, Kirby, seems to be injured. I can only imagine it's from scraping their food off the side of their mouth with their feet. Can anyone tell me what I should do for this, theories, advice, etc? If you need more information about habitat/husbandry, just ask!

    Redfoot isnt eating on his own.

    My Redfoot tort (approx. 3 years old) doesnt seem to touch his salad on his own. However, whenever i show him and hand feed him food, he takes it and eats most things i give him.

    Thank you! Tips are greatly appreciated and noted. I'm using ZOOmed compact CHE and same brand and style, but a UVB lamp. I was told that UVB is very important for digestion and calcium processing, I I made sure to get one. Would a regular UV strip do the trick as well? And if I were to use a UV...

    Hi! I was hoping to get some insight and care tips for Redfoots. I purchased one today and have him in a large glass aquarium with coco coir substrate, a large shallow water dish, a dark and humid hideout, and I feed him mustard/collard/turnip greens mixed with ZOOmed tropical tortoise pellets...

    Baby Sulcata Tortoise - dark green lined mouth?

    Hello! My baby Sulcata Tortoise's mouth is lined in dark green, almost a moldy looking color. It looks like he is wearing lipstick. Is this possibly just from munching outside in the yard on plant matter?

    How often should I be feeding my baby Sulcata Tortoise?

    My baby is just over 4 inches and I've been feeding him whatever he will eat in my lawn (along with other supplements like ZOOmed grassland diet and rose leaves, hibiscus flower/leaves, some collard greens, etc). He is CONSTANTLY eating, which I guess is good? How often should I feed him and...
