Awesome! Thanks so much for the info! Is the herbal hay in the small pet section at pet stores?

Surrounding area of Detroit.

What do you guys feed your Red foot tortoises? I need to know what else I can throw into my 6 month old's diet. So far he eats: blueberries, pumpkin, apples, organic spring mix, bananas (small amounts rarely), and hard boiled egg all topped with calcium and multivitamins and the diet is switched...

What types of flowers are good for red foot tortoises? How would I obtain these flowers? I do not know where to get them. Local grocery stores? Or grow them myself?

Okay. But doesn't the top layer need to be dry? Thanks again for the help. I'm really learning a lot here. Also, what is the best substrate? As of right now he's on the Forest Floor substrate with green moss mixed into it. Is that suitable for now?

Great advice, I will stop misting the top of his substrate and pour some water and do the moist towel. I do not have a lid for his enclosure, so I am unsure how a fluorescent UVB tube will work. He has a MVB that I got after work for now, until I can upgrade his habitat.

I am so stressed about my little guy I got 2 days ago. I just want everything to be perfect for him and I want to go above and beyond to ensure he is well taken care of because I want him for life. I am just reading SO many mixed things and it and's putting a pit in my gut that I am not doing...

Yes thank you

That is awesome. So happy I got him, cherry or not! :)

I am wondering if I have a normal guy, or a cherry head. The breeder said they may have been cherry heads, but he sold them as normals because he wasn't sure. Are there any tell tale signs of a cherry head?
