    Thanks I just saved a tortoise from a bad situation. I saw her online for 20 bucks but they had her in a 10 gallon aquarium and was feeding her aquatic turtle pellets. I took her to the vet but he didn't seem very knowledgeable about the species. I'm not sure if I have a red or yellow footed...

    I just bought cactus fruit for my red footed tortoise and wanted to know if the seeds are safe for them to consume. This fruit is very seedy. Thanks
