    Mixing Coco Coir?

    Hi! I am gathering supplies for my Red Foots new enclosure. I'm planning on having the top 2 inches of substrate be Cypress mulch. The bottom 4 inches Coco Coir, but can I mix it with something? Play sand? Topsoil? Peat Moss? Any recommendations? Thanks!

    New Redfoot Indoor Enclosure!

    This is Humphrey Poptart's current enclosure. It's a Zoomed Tortoise House. Humidity has been a huge issue, so we have resorted to using a shower curtain to help. It works, but it's not pretty and the enclosure is too small for my liking. I got this awesome idea for an enclosure from Elohi...

    Wooden box or glass terrarium?

    Hi! Humphrey our red foot is currently housed in a ZooMed Tortoise Table, which I realize now isn't a fantastic idea because of the amount of humidity needed. Currently we are having a hard time keeping the humidity up - it is hovering around 70 but today it wants to drop more. Using cypress...

    Humidity levels

    Hi! I was wondering about a good way to keep humid levels high in an enclosure. We are currently using ZooMed Tortoise Table (I know, not really ideal, but we will hopefully be upgrading once we get one built) for our 4 month old Red Footed Tortoise. We are using cypress mulch for a substrate...

    Hey guys!

    Hello! My husband and I just took home a 4 month old Red Foot Tortoise, who we have named Humphrey (but his nickname is PopTart). I am excited to be a part of this group, and learn new things about how to care for him (or her) properly! He currently is set up in a Zoomed Tortoise House, which I...
