Does anyone have experience using organic WonderSoil? I am changing over from plain spaghum bedding to a mix of soil/coco coir with moss on top for my juvenile red foot.

And how long should I leave him in the water? I've seen anywhere between 10 to 20 minutes.

Thank you. I'll keep soaking him in lukewarm water and hope he doesn't grow up hating me. LOL

Hi everyone: I have a question for the forum: I've had this baby red foot for about a month and a half. He doesn't seem to like the water. I try to soak him every other day, but he HATES it! He spends the whole time trying to get out of the dishpan. I feel bad leaving him in there. He...

I bought some aluminum cake pans and plant green bean seeds (they grow really fast). When they are about 6 inches tall I put the whole pan in one end of his enclosure. It's like a mini forest. Marvin enjoys "chopping" them down and munching on the leaves. I'm trying other seeds too, like...

I'm not sure of the size, but maybe the top to a Rubbermaid container (clear top) or the like, cutting off one side where the heat lamps are may be an option. In the summer it's humid enough here (yesterday was 91 degrees!) that I got a screen top and keep half covered by a towel. As it gets...

Also: I took him outside a couple of times to enjoy the sunshine on nice days...He loved it, ate a dead ant, and the next time ate a worm, much to my disgust.

Hello to all: I am new to tortoise husbandry. Just got a baby redfoot (3 inches) 2 weeks ago. He/she arrived safe and proceeded to drink, eat and explore his new digs. So cute! after a few days he now tends to sleep all of the time in his hide. I have to wake him up to soak him and then...
