redfoot

Around a week ago I noiticed a tiny brown mark on my redfoot's head, I didn't think of it much then but I was going to book a vet appoitnment. I've just checked today and to me it seems like it has gotten worse. I'm extreamly worried about it now and I'm going to book an appointment at my vets...

Hi everyone! I have an approximately 9 month old redfoot and am wanting to upgrade his enclosure. He's growing like a champ and his current enclosure is getting on the small side. I am planning on going ahead and building a tortoise table but want to make sure that the climate is good for his...

I’m struggling here…I’m new to tortoises and have had my rf for about a month now. She lives outside and I bring her in for the night where she lives in this box. I changed things recently to accommodate her behaviors and me trying to understand her needs. She had this box outside at first...

My pretty girl or a boy ? checking out her new hide ?

I’ve had three RFs hatch out in the last couple of days. The third one hatched out yesterday morning. The yolk sac was so big he would tip over onto his face. ? I know this is normal. I had him on damp paper towel with damp paper towel loosely over him with a breathable cover. I noticed last...

Hi all this forum is heaven sent for me I tell you! being a new red foot mama, I’m stressing a lot trying to make a good home for my Lucy. For now she has a temporary place outside until we finish our wall and backyard. she loves being outside, but since I moved her box to a new more spacious...

Hello All! So my baby Redfoot, Heidi is about 3 months old now and I just measured her for the first time. she is 3.5 inches wide and 3.25 inches long. Now I've looked around online and a few sources I've read say that, that is the approximate size a 1 year old! So...my question to you guys is...

I have owned this guy's for about 4 months now. The larger one I got from a pet store when I saw he was not being properly cared for. The smaller one I got from a breeder. I give them a few hours of outside time and keep their enclosure very controlled at the recommended settings 80f on...

Ok, I have several related questions. I currently have a baby redfoot who is going to be 3 months tomorrow. I have seen that this is a debatable topic, but would I be able to house multiple (specifically 2) baby to yearling tortoises together. Are pairs ok? Can a yearling and a hatchling be in...

So I got a redfoot recently and he was pretty much fine up until about 2 days ago, when he stopped eating, and started sticking his neck out much further than usual to breathe/was breathing heavier than usual (a combination wheezing/clicking noise?) He's been up and moving and drinking lots of...

I just finished renovating Taco's enclosure! I added a new hide (he outgrew his old one), new plants, and some more sphagnum moss. He seems to love it so far!

Hi Guys I have recently managed to get to the coast the weekend (first time in a while). I have picked a few rocks for my torts enclosure (Redfoot) from the beach. I was wondering if i have to be careful about anything? i have washed the rocks and let them dry but is there anything I should be...

Just some pictures of Murphy, my new baby! These are from his free roam time in the evenings, when he's the most active!

I have had a red foot tortoise for about 5 years & am looking to give them up for adoption to the right home. The tortoise has had a well balanced diet, adequate home, etc for the 5 years I’ve had them. The reason for adoption is that recently (about 6 months ago) they started to bang on the...

Hey everyone! I have a beautiful ~7 month old redfoot that I purchased from Southern Reptiles last year. He's already more than doubled in size and quadrupled in weight since October. He will occasionally explore his enclosure, but I think he needs more plants/coverage to feel fully comfortable...

Hi I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations on substrate to go under the orchid bark so the tortoise can burrow. I use tortoise terrain but realise it’s not good for them. cheers

Got some spider plants in my enclosure starting to look good Ruben the red foot is loving it ?? if anyone could suggest any more that would be great!

I have two healthy and active redfoot torts of approximately 1.5 - 2 years of age. I think they're female but I don't know for sure (I named them male names as initially I thought they were male but I'm coming to the conclusion that they are likely female). I'm looking at relocating rather far...

I'm not sure if anyone has experience with this, but I have two 1yr old Redfoot tortoises that I'm rehoming in Italy, but I'm having a hard time finding transport from their current location to their new home. I'm willing to go through a pet courier, or ship them overnight but I'm just having a...

So I recently bought a pair of redfoots from someone that could no longer care for them, one is about 7 and the other is a year and some months old according to the person we bought it from. They sadly have some pyramiding from before I got them. But my question is what are your guys opinions on...
