How do I make my red footed eat? :c

RE: How?

They should want to eat on their own if they are being housed correctly and have the right temperatures. Can you give us a complete rundown of how you are housing and heating them?

RE: How?

And what you're offering them for food?

RE: How?

The most common cause of a tortoise not eating is because it isn't warm enough. Second most common cause is its a new tortoise and it takes time to acclimate.

I second this and what Tom said as well. To add to it also make sure its getting UV daily or it will cause them to become less active as well.

Please give a rundown of your temp, humidity and pic of your enclosure so we can help. Otherwise we cant guess...

Red foots are always attracted to red coloured foods and I've never seen one reject a mushroom
