    To Grow or Not to Grow

    Not sure if its different between breeds. However with my Redfoot, she will get a 1-2mm layer of keratin that is relatively see through at the edge of her skirt, which later changes colour to match the rest of the shell.

    Red foot locality?

    Looks quite similar to my Columbian but older and a bit darker. But I am no expert.

    Kit Kat Food

    Theres a lot of conflicting diets for redfoots. I'm also quite new to tortoises, and spent a long time reading up on what others feed their tortoise, it can be quite confusing, the diet I use is easy for me to maintain, and my tortoise is happy and healthy so far. Currently I will go to my...

    Substrate help!!??

    Maybe Coco coir would be a good alternative if you don't want to use Cypress mulch. I personally use Cypress Mulch/Sphagnum moss for my Redfoot, and everybody raves about how good it is.

    Sleeping

    If my girlfriend came home, and found me in bed with the tortoise. Tortoise envy would change to tortoise rage, I'm not sure if me or the tortoise would survive.

    Rant... TF don't be letting me down

    I have no doubt other countries are just as bad, but I see few from UK on here, and most care advise is tailored to hotter countries. I can only speak about my own location, and all tortoise owners I have come in contact with in person have no clue, and are extremely stubborn.

    Rant... TF don't be letting me down

    My mother who has two Hermanns frequents these Facebook groups, personally I have noticed a lot of the information being handed out on these are false, and people are both extremely aggressive(not you) about suggesting changes, which in turn makes the defendant very ... defensive. My mother is...

    Can Torts Co-Exsist With Other Pets?

    Larger wild cats are one of the main predators for Redfoots, I know that. However my tortoise has often chased my cats, and actually likes to hide under them for warmth. The older cat isn't bothered by her, but I did catch the younger kitten patting the back of my tortoise's shell in a probing...

    New Owner with Juvenile RF

    I wouldn't worry too much, I had similar worries with my redfoot when I got her a couple of months ago. I was initially worried that it was due to the cool end being too cold, that may be worth checking, but they do roam around when you don't expect, I recently upped my hot end temp to 95~ and...

    Introducing Boomer to the fleet

    I'm still haggling with my girlfriend to go from one redfoot to three at the end of the year. Do you just take care of them over the summer for people?

    New Owner with Juvenile RF

    Cute tortoise, I would recommend sinking the food bowl into the substrate, I had the same one, and my tort flipped herself getting in and out of it.
