So today we moved our 3 juveniles redfoots into there new indoor enclosure. This enclosure is within our large enclosure that the adults wiil be in soon. Humidity in here is at 90%+ and temp is 80/82f. I've got a rain system on a timer, just need to put the uvb light in for them tomorrow, this area is about 30sq ft.

I originally heated the caves below which I now feel is pointless. They are keeping at 75f ish without any heat, so that should be good for the adults to retreat to, also the heat was rising and drying out the top tier to quickly.

Anyway, here are some shots of them, we wanted to use the camera to take photos but it steamed up immediately , so had to make do with the phone. Surprisingly the larger of the 3 went all shy and hid away whilst the other 2 explored and nibbled on everything in sight.
Ill keep a close eye on these to see how they continue to grow. As long as I have copied the same parameters across to the new enclosure I'm thinking all SHOULD be good.

Wonderful! :)

Are you worried that they might try to go through the mesh?

No, Its steel wire mesh that is plastic coated, 15" high and 3" below ground level, posts are solid too. Obviously they will try and get through it at first, that will calm down in time, although they don't seem interested in it yet.
I just noticed the photos look extremely red, that's the phone flash clashing with the light spectrum's its not that red.
