I'm in Pennsylvania. My male is about 10 inches, maybe 6# the female is about 8 inches maybe 3 1/2 lbs. TheI hide can protect them from wind and where their enclosure is they are pretty protected from wind, but I wouldn't say their hide retains much heat, it's my first summer havin them and I...

I know if I searched I could eventually find the answer, I looked a little and kept pulling up the wrong info so I figured I'd just ask. I have my two redfoots outside and it's still getting into the 80's during the day, but it's starting to cool off at night, tonight it's going down to 55, I...

To keep the humidity up alot of people tent the enclosure like a greenhouse and use a fogger or ultrasonic vaporizer.

Wrong type of substrate, they recommend cypress and they can't be kept humid by moist substrate or they'll get shell rot on their plastron.

The pics are of the same tort, I've only had him a month, so I have nothin g to do with how good he looks, but thank you. My friends tort is pyramided, there are no pics of him. She didn't get him till he was older either and he was already pyramided

I was wondering if you could tell.what region mine is from.

Thank you, but I've only had him a month. My friend bought hers and he was pyramided when she got him.

Ok, I wasn't sure about the pyramiding. I do know how it's caused and I have a baby Russian im making sure he says humid enough so it won't happen Can you tell my redfoot area form those pics or do you need more?

This is mine, I don't have a bottom pic. I probably won't be able to get a pic of my friends till Monday because of her work schedule. Do some redfoots look pyramided, but are auctually supposed to have bumpy shells? I saw another breed of tortoise, I forget which one, but it looked pyramided...

My male redfoot I believe is Venezuelain, he has a smooth shell, round scoots above his eyes etc. My friend has a male redfoot that is bigger, his head and legs are more colorful (but not like a cherryhead), and we thought his shell was pyramided, but he looks like a Brazilian from looking at...

All I can think that seem fiberous to me is celery... I did mix mazuri with cantaloupe and he ate that yesterday, today I gave him just plain mazuri and he ate that too. I think he's used to eating the mazuri. I'm going to try to get more greens into his diet, but I've been really sick, it's...

I will definitely look, thank you. I guess I'm in for a battle of wills lol :)

And this may sound stupid, what's "long fiber" foods, I'm not exactly a healthy eater, i think a pop tart is health because it's fortified vith vitimins :)

Yea, my RT will run for a pc of leafy green stuff, LeRoy looks at me like I'm a moron. It's literally the look my dog gives me when I drop the Russian's greens and tell him to eat it. I guess I'm going to start chopping and using the mazuri I have. He is really stubborn, alot like me lol

It's all good lol, I auctually had to reread it because I also use RT for my baby and wanted to make sure I auctually did put RF

I have some mazuri, he's not a baby though, he's over 5lbs, does he really need me to puree his food or just until he starts eating better. I don't know anything about his past, but I'd guses maybe the last few months all he got was cat food or something. I am sure to keep him hydrated, i...

It's a Redfoot tortoise not a Russian (although I do have a Russian) did I post in the wrong place

I've had my sub-adult RF for about a month now, he will rarely eat any greens, and won't touch the few squashes I've tried. He will eat watermelon, cantaloupe, cherry tomatoes, strawberries sometime, cherries, and he loves meat, lean roast and albacore. Should I only offer him greens hoping he...

Thank you :)

Ewww, i don't like either
