Hey guys, I'm upgrading my red foots lighting system, because heat bulbs have been absolute **** over the past year. So i'm probably getting a CHE and UVB bulb or tube. The problem is that I don't know what brands to even rely on anymore, Zoo med seems like crap, national geographic wasn't...

I have recently built my redfoot a new enclosure, and upgraded is substrate from just sphagnum moss to organic top soil and coconut coir fiber. He seems to love being able to dig now, but I'm having a terrible time with fruit flies I think? They are small little white things that I see climbing...

My red foot tortoise and I just recently moved into a new apartment. His enclosure is the same, but since we've been here he's been extremely active. Which normally I would be ecstatic about, but he's been trying to escape the enclosure, which normally ends in flipping over. He also won't eat...

Hey fellow tort owners! I've had my little baby red foot for about a year now, and now I'm getting a new apartment so I wanted to make him an all new bigger and better enclosure. I currently use sphagnum moss as a substrate because of its ability to hold 10x its weight in moisture, and its also...

My baby red foot, while occasionally picky has always been a good eater. But these pat two days he has hardly had more then a few bites of food. The last time he was eating as much it's because his poop cycle was a little backed up- that regulated in a day or two and then he was fine. But he's...

I'm trying to get as much variety into my baby red-foot's diet as possible. He gets a little picky when he chooses a favorite food. SO i've been on a spree of trying to introduce him to new foods. I've tried steamed squash and sweet potatoes [that didn't work] i've tried tomato [sorta worked]...

My baby red-foot, Auggie, seems to have some dead skin around the area or his neck foreskin and head. He tries to scratch it off using the back of his shell but has a really hard time because of the placement. Can a take a q-tip and help him out? And is this a sign that he's growing?

I've had my baby red foot for about a month, and while there have been some struggles regulating humidity, and getting him to expand his diet to more than just fruit, there have never been any functional issues until today. The last two days he hasn't been eating as much as normal, but I didn't...

So here's my problem: I made a wooden enclosure for my baby red foot that worked out perfectly, he's very happy and at home, and I had purchased a mini tropical UVB & Heat lighting kit and a few weeks later the blue heat bulb burned out. I had purchased the closest heat bulb (looks more like a...

I have a little baby red foot tortoise, he's maybe 3 1/2" big. I rotate fruits and vegetables every other day and every 10 days he gets animal protein, and 2 to 3 times a week I sprinkle calcium on his fresh food. But Mazuri has been suggested to me on this forum, and I'm not sure whether or not...

I've just been scanning through other threads noticing that a few people have problems with their tortoises producing crystalized urates, and many of the comments say the goal is for them to be creamy like? I have a baby red foot, maybe 3-4" and he's urine always appears to be pure water, so I...

I love my baby so much, but only problem is that he has become quite the picky eater. He favorite food is watermelon, and it feel like most of the time its the only thing i can get him to eat. I know red-foots need a lot of variety but he won't touch blueberries, grapes, most types of kale...
