hi im new to the forum and today i got a baby red foot, i did tons of research before getting him or her and just wanted to share a picture to make sure he's healthy
Yes this is my first tortoise and I chose a red foot because I love the way they look and I live in Florida and as adults they do well outdoors here , just curious I'm overly paranoid with my pets but does he or she look healthy ?
Hello and Welcome. Hard to tell from just a photo, but looks good to me. Be sure to keep a higher humidity but with the top layer if substrate dry. RF need high humidity to grow smooth but are prone to shell rot.
Thank you for all your responses and welcomes as of enclosures hes in a zoo med tortoise house with a cypress mulch , water / food dish , heat and 5. uvb but i still have a couple of questions :
How long does it take them to settle in ?
What & how much protein should they have at this age/size?
And any other info or suggestions are appreciated
