I'm not sure what is going on with my redfoots. Simon and Garfunkel have been together since they were both just a few months old. Now they're each a year old and have decided to have issues. At first I thought the shoving matches were due to the enclosure becoming outgrown by them. So, a few...
Simon and Garfunkel are now one year old and both have grown so much that their current juvenile enclosure is already too small for them.
Today I found a great buy on a sand box that would give them plenty of room. I will have it up on a table top, but since I have small dogs, I still feel...
We are finally starting to get some warm afternoons. Well, not really warm, but warm enough for Simon and Garfunkel to get outside for a few minutes when the sun is out. Simon enjoyed a snack while out the other day.
Grab your berries and greens! Simon & Garfunkel are here in their first video
I can't find a way to get the video to start from here, so just click the link to youtube

I have been struggling to keep the humidity up in my new RF's enclosure.
I've read here that it is imperative that especially while young, one is 5 mos and the other is 7 mos, that I keep the humidity up so that the shells grow right.
It's winter here in MI, and so the air is very dry. I have...
Ok, so Simon & Garfunkel have been in my care for 3 days now. Simon was hatched back in Aug 2010, and weighed 52 grams upon arrival and has already gained 5 grams, weighing in at 57 grams today. Garfunkel arrived at 80 grams and is now at 87 grams, a 7 gram increase. Does that sound normal? I...
My new redfoots are both very young. One is 5 1/2 months old and the other 9 months. I read somewhere that you should feed them the amount equal to the size of their head. Is that really enough? Seems like they would be starving.
I'd really like to know how much and how often these guys need...
Yep that's right...tomorrow is Tortoise Tuesday!! I have two babies coming tomorrow. I am so excited and barely wait for the morning to arrive. Guess who won't be sleeping much tonight. lol
Vet appointment at 3:30pm - just to ensure they have arrived healthy.
Expect pics this week :D
Being that I live in the north, and we just had a power outage that lasted over an hour, it made me think about the new torts I have arriving soon. What would I do to keep my babies warm if the power went out for a longer period of time? The house I rent doesn't have a fireplace or a generator...
Henri was to be arriving tomorrow, but there has been a delay with the blizzard forecast, so he will arrive next week hopefully. I got thinking about the poor fella possibly feeling lonely being taken away from his/her tort friends...boxed up and shipped to my home....and not having another tort...
Just wanted to share pics of my pack which is comprised of three pugs and a mini schnauzer.
13 1/2 yr old blind pug: rescued from Missouri Puppymill was 2 1/2 when I got her. She had to have extensive surgery on both her back legs, and have her one remaining eye removed (she could not see...
I went shopping today. Bought all the accessories needed to set up my new torts table. The actual tort table arrives on the 11th, and my new baby arrives on the 12th. I'm so excited!
What I bought:
Heat/basking light with small dome and light stand to hold it over the one end of the table...
Hi everyone! My name is Linda, and I just joined the forum while I wait to get my Honey colored Red Footed Tortoise...at least I am hoping to have it by Jan 12th.
I ordered it from The Turtle Source a few days ago - online. My payment has been processed, yet I have yet to get a return phone...
