    Pumice in a bedding mix?

    Avoid potting MIX. The correct one will say pure Orchid MEDIA. Do you have a HOME DEPOT nearby? This is great stuff and it's very long lasting.

    New member here!

    I use Mazuri. It contains finely ground hay. (Something I must've not considered back when this was first posted) Hay isn't dangerous to a Redfoot. It's just that I don't think they'll eat it per se. Not hay by itself. Also hay gets moldy quickly in a Redfoot type environment. I see no good...

    New tortoise owner

    I don't know if those are Sulcata or Desert tortoises. But no. They should not be together.

    15 Years isn't Long Enough

    Unfortunately it's something I'm very familiar with. Dogs can become such valuable companions. They give nothing but love. Every time I lose one, I always say I'm not doing that again..... But I need one in my life. Only us pet people would understand. I'm glad for the 15 years y'all have had...

    UVI Meter (Substitute of Solar Meter 6.5)

    The SOLARMETER 6.5 isn't as much of a brand name as it is the specific spectrum of 6.5 in UVB. Not UVI. This may not be suitable. Do you have any other information about it?

    Incubator Frustrations

    Back when I dealt with eggs and babies I purchased two of those mini 'fridge looking incubators within a 20 month period and they both failed. Afterwards I had equal success with a Styrofoam HOVERBATOR and a 10 gallon aquarium set up as an 82°, 75% humidity incubator. The closed chamber aquarium...

    Help and advice needed- red footed tortoise

    To me, his limbs look bad. The legs are facing sideways and not raising up his body. You probably have some MBD going on there. Get him some sunlight and/or a T5 ho UVB strip florescent tube light

    Tug of war? The lizard is trying to eat something. And the keeper is yanking his teeth out.

    5 month old tortoise died suddenly.

    I'm sorry for your loss. From that limited information I'm unable to theorize what may have killed your little Redfoot. You've been given some good advice. When you have a healthy tortoise you can often see a decline in them. If you start with an unhealthy tortoise. It may already be too late to...
