Bump. These guys are still available. Message me if you are interested.

Thank you. I appreciate the warning. Definitely looking for someone that is either an established member or known by an established member on here.

I have three juvenile Redfoot Tortoises I need to rehome. They are approximately 18-20 months old. Have been raised according to the instructions here (closed chamber, diet etc.). I will not ship. Looking for someone with experience of redfoots in South or Southwest Florida to take them. They...

After studying the advice on here, we built an indoor closed enclosure for our 3 Redfoot hatchlings. We live in Florida, so they will only be in here for a year or 2 at the most. (We've already started planting their outdoor enclosure so the plants have time to mature). It is 5'6" by 2'6". It...

What species of tortoise do you have? Not all tortoise species brumate (hibernate).

That is an awesome deal! Well done. I just got a very tall mulberry from Home Depot for $60. Not exactly sure how tall, but way over 8'. Fingers crossed I don't kill it!

I second using herbs. I have thyme and they love to sit under it, but don't eat it. Although the plants in my enclosure only survive for about a month until they die. But that's because I'm doing something wrong, not the torts!

Monty is doing much better today. Cruising around, eating. The carrot soaks seemed to have done the trick! Going to wait a few days and then weigh them all again. The new hide arrives today, so I'm sure that will help too. I definitely think there is some territorial stress. They are in a...

Thanks @Toddrickfl1 and @ZEROPILOT. I've found an exotic vet near me and I'm waiting for them to call me back so I can find out more about their tortoise experience. I think you could be onto something with the aggression. Yesterday I noticed Monty (the sickly one) head on with Phineas (the...

After I posted Chell seemed more lively and ate quite a bit, so I'm not as worried about her now. But Monty had 2 bites of papaya and that was it. I gave him a carrot soak for 25 minutes and then put him in his food bowl. He had a few more bites of papaya then but then went into his hide...

I have 3 Redfoot Hatchlings that I got about 4-6 weeks ago. #1 Hatchling (Phineas - 73g) is the largest and gaining weight and doing well. Eating well etc. #2 Hatchling (Chell - 51g) is the smallest and only gaining about 1g per week. She eats only small amounts. I haven't seen her poop for a...

I'm very new to tortoises, so maybe one of the experts can correct me. But wouldn't you want to keep them separate for a few months for a quarantine period anyway? Especially as you know nothing about the new ones background.

Aww. What a cute little face. Sad story. Looks like she has some pyramiding going on, so I guess the old owners kept her far too dry. So glad you were able to rescue her.

I just saw in your other post that your boyfriend's tortoise passed away. I'm so sorry. It looked like he was very sick when you got him. Well done for doing research and asking questions about a redfoot before you get one. I'm new to tortoises but I've been doing a LOT of research too. You...

Orchid growing is very popular in India (my favorite Orchid YouTuber is in India), so I would think they would sell orchid bark. Is there a garden or plant store near you? You could ask them if they have orchid bark. It could be called something different there.

I have a mulberry tree in a pot too and it's doing really well. I wouldn't worry about moving the pots (the hibiscus or mulberry) when it rains. Just make sure the pots have drainage holes in the bottom so excess water can escape. If you get a plastic pot without holes, it's very easy to drill...

First off Happy Birthday!!! I'm very new to tortoises but my most shy hatchling makes a whirling-clicking sound when I pick her up (to soak her etc.). Because she's so small and shy, I'm pretty sure it's a sound of distress. I'd be interested to know if they make other sounds (or the same...

I love watching all types of tortoise videos. And if you get to share your passion of tortoises with other young people, then I think it's a great thing to do. The person that lied about you to your friends is probably jealous that you have a yt channel. Don't listen to the haters and just be...

Congratulations! And what a beautiful baby too! You must be so proud (and rightly so).
