New Here And With RedFoots

[GrienWizz]

Hey guys, the name is Danny and I am a 2-3 month owner of 1 male and 1 female red footed tortoise that my dad brought home for me from a hunting trip.
Well he brought the female (Shelly) 1 week before he brought home the male tortoise (Faed).
I made them an outside enclosure and keep them there 24-7.
Sorry if my English is messed up b'cause I am from a South-American country called Suriname.
So with my research done, stuff like dandelions etc. are hard to fight here.
I could use as much help as I could with them.

Pictures?? And welcome!! Since you live in their native country food should be easy but I’m totally ignorant to what grows there. I’m sure someone will chime in soon.

 

[GrienWizz]

Sorry, here are the pictures...
The one in the water is Faed
The other one is Shelly
Thanks for replying on my post and for the welcome XD

Yes red foots are my favorite and it’s awesome to see them in their native Country.

Well I hope to see eggs one day as well.... I have seen them mating once. So hopefully it has happened a few more times and hopefully she will lay some eggs soon.

There is 2 apps I use one called "picture this" you can download and take pictures of plants and weeds and it will usually tell you what it's called. Then there's another app called "tortoise table" that you can look up what you found and it will tell you if its safe to feed your redfoots. I've found it useful.

 

[GrienWizz]

Does it have all plants or most plants around the world in their data base?

 

[Toddrickfl1]

It finds about 75% of the stuff I find here in America. Just compare it to the pictures of what it says it is to be sure. If you have any doubts, don't feed it. That's what I do.

 

[GrienWizz]

Okay..
Thanks for the help!
lemme search for the app ASAP.

They are really nice looking animals.
The shells are beautifully smooth.

I was thinking the same thing, the one in the water dish looks like a yellow foot. But I am by no means an expert. Very pretty tortoises the both of them are.
