Already posted but never intro'd here so better do it I guess.

The Wife and I are long time pet lovers. Many animals have come and gone over the years. We've fostered a few, sought a few, and had some forced upon us :)

My main pet thing is fishkeeping, has been for many years, though the number of tanks waxes and wanes.

Currently, no rodents or lizards reside under our roof, unless you count the 4 kids :)

2 Dogs, 4 Cats.

I already introduced Rocky, Here and how he came under our care. After all the Tortoise researchin I've done now thanks to Rocky, I think a Greek may have been a better fit for us, but we didn't do the chosin' and we love Rocky so we'll do what we can for now. In the long run, may have to find a new home for him if I can't provide it, but I dread that day, and it would only be to someone I absolutely trusted to be able to do better than me. He's suffered enough.

Welcome to the group! He really doesn't look bad at all--really cute! With enough effort and money I don't think you'll have any problems keeping him. Redfoots can do well indoors vs. many other species, and don't get quite as huge. Good luck!

Hi! Hey don't be so hard on yourself. You have already done a great job of changing things more to suit the needs of Rocky. Rocky is very lucky to have you.
