    Pickiest eater

    My little Rosebud is 100 grams today! Hooray! She is the world's pickiest eater. Only eats dandelions greens, banana and apple, unless you give her a patch of weeds in our back pasture. She really likes Indian ponyfoot, looks a little like clover. She hates berries by the way, little weirdo...

    I use plastic sheeting for 8 months now and my pets shell looks great. It is hard to get everything going right. Good luck!

    Does This Look Normal For. Four Month Old Red Foot?

    Sorry I stepped in the other thread. It is expensive but had to because my son bought me something I'm allergic to, maybe so I got some coconut cuir and forest earth for her and moved her to a bigger cage. Shes got nice growth lines on her shell but she's starting to look fat. She eats very...

    Does This Look Normal For. Four Month Old Red Foot?

    She looks okay to me and is pretty inactive but she loves fruit and dandelions and she is gaining weight steadily. I thought for a while she had an infection on her neck but it was just dirt! I change substrate monthly. I wanted to be sure we dont have gnats breeding in there and we pour water...

    Does This Look Normal For. Four Month Old Red Foot?

    I'm a nervous gramma and I thought "but what if we break down?" I decided since she wasn't sick I would postpone. But the plan was to use a towel from the dryer to warm up her transport. My daughter did that with her snake.

    Does This Look Normal For. Four Month Old Red Foot?

    No I dont have one, and I was afraid it would be turtle soup in there. Like I said I need the money to set up properly. Shes a year old and a very picky eater but she is growing and no signs of pyramiding and shell rot. I would have taken her for her year check up but it was so cold I was afraid...

    My CHE got too hot for my redfoot. I had to use a 30 watt red bulb and the temps went back to mid 80s. I'm in a bind til I get more money for a better enclosure. My red bulb has burned out when its snowing outside but the room is 75. will she be okay for a while at room temp?

    Weight gain

    I was planning on getting a cuttlebone. Today she ate a little better, especially outside where she can graze dandelions. She won't eat them unless there are growing. If I cut them and bring them in I swear she gives me the side eye ;). I still have to wake her everyday to eat. I soak her...

    Weight gain

    I will try boiled egg. I sprinkle calcium on her food weekly but she eats so little. The pellets are fortified but like I said, just a thimbleful.

    Weight gain

    I offer her moistened Flukers pellets daily but she only eats a thimbleful. She loves blueberries and carrots every other day and she eats a few live dandelions, Johnson grass, and Asian ponyfoot in our pasture when i take her outside. Occasionally she will eat bits of corn. She will ignore...

    Weight gain

    I wondered about that too, but yeah I got some suspect advice. Since I live in an arid climate humidity has been my concern, but I will get CHE. I'll let yall know if she gets better. I put her predecessor down after 6 days because she was sick when I got her so I don't want to go through that...
