Thanks for the info, your redfoots do look beautiful!
I've also looked into redfoot care when I acquired mine. I believe it is important to provide a most natural situation. They live in forested areas, with open spaces. I therefore decided to provide enough shade, but also an MVB for "sun experience". And my redfoot really loves to bask! And yes, overall temps are high enough, she's just loves the sun.
I would also worry that the diet doesn't provide enough D3. Not all mushrooms contain a lot of it. Supplementing might be the way to go, because it is impossible for us to provide a 100% natural diet. I'll just go with the UVB light....
I think there are more right ways to raise redfoots, as long as we provide them with what they need.
Only 2 responses .. Vitamin D is retained in the fat and can become toxic easily [ regardless the source ] - not much is really required.
I hear about all these different right ways to care for them.. where are the pics and why even consider anything else? I can count on one hand the number that have raised hatchlings that look anywhere near as smooth and healthy? Pearly and Craig are 2 and a couple others I know [ that go by my caresheet ].
My way is NOT the only way .... show me a way that works as well.. and as simple.
