redfoot

Dandelion greens have been one of Archie’s favorite snacks so far (and blueberries)

My roommate was very excited to meet Archie when I first brought him home.

Hi! I just got this redfoot, I was told she is about 3 years old and is 5 inches. She is my first tortoise, I’ve done a lot of research and I know she has pyramiding. My question is, how bad would you say it is? Does the new growth look like it’s going well? Does she look healthy? I can’t really...

Hi! I’m going to have my very first (cherry head) tortoise hatchling in a few months and I’m preparing its outdoor enclosure. I live in Manila, Philippines and our weather is usually 25C-35C and humidity from 70-85% and can even reach up to 90%+. I plan to have a 4ft x 2ft table (covered with...

Three similar size new enclosures for two adult Russians and one baby red foot.

Hello! It breaks my heart to admit that I cannot take care of my babies anymore. Tahu and Pequena have been with me since they were hatchlings in 2020. As I move on to other things in life at 23 I find it harder and harder to properly take care of them. They are now Juveniles and are some of...

I'd like to build an outdoor enclosure for my redfoot to give him some extra space and time outside. I live in Indiana so a pretty temperate climate. During the summers it can be hot and humid with a few days in the low 100s here and there, but usually highs between 80-90. The lows are usually...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to tortoise keeping. I have a baby Redfoot that's about 7-8 cm and super cute : ) I offer my baby Redfoot various mixed salads every day, but he/she never seems interested in eating any greens (kale, mulberry leaves, hibiscus leaves) and only wants to eat fruits and...

Hello everyone! I am a new tortoise owner and recently got three tortoises (two Russians and one red foot), all from petsore. They currently live in three enclosures and seem to be happy and active most of the time. Based on the online medical info I ordered Panacur (Fenbendazole) animal...

We got two Russians about 1 week ago and one red foot right after (my wife thinks red foot is beautiful). Russians are from PetSmart and red foot is from Petco (we already spent 2000+ to buy them plus all enclosures, a lot of equipment and food. We are almost broke lol). I found that our red...

Planning to build an 8x4 enclosure for my redfoot, need some advice on insulation, mounting tube lights and how many I should get? Substrate? Right now she’s in a temporary house (kiddie pool) with cypress mulch and coco coir, has CHE for her heat and 2 uvb bulbs, with some tinfoil around the...

Good Morning everyone, I am new to this and only want the best for my little tort Milwaukee. We have had him for almost about a month and bought it from a tortoise breeder up in West Palm Beach. We originally bought him a tortoise house, but within a week and a half we learned that was not the...

Hi, my name is Rowan and I have a 12 year old male red foot name Torti! He’s been with me since we were both little and we’ve grown up together! I’m currently in the Chicago burbs and I’m looking to build an outdoor enclosure in my parents back yard! Usually Torti lives with me at college in a...

Marlin is always watching me

I am located in northern Colorado and am helping re-home a friends tortoise who is currently in our care. She is 7 years old and her name is Taco!

I've been treating my tortoise from a fungus in it's plastron for two weeks now. He has recovered very well, I've been applying betadine, chlorhexedine and clotrimazole (betadine just for the first three days). But it still has a black spot on the center of it's plastron, i'm worried it could be...
