The only problem is that he has become quite the picky eater. He favorite food is watermelon, and it feel like most of the time its the only thing i can get him to eat. I know red-foots need a lot of variety but he won't touch blueberries, grapes, most types of kale, apples, and so on. SO to make sure he eats enough I basically just need to offer him mushrooms, spinach, dandelion greens, bananas, and watermelon and wait for him to choose one. ANY TIPS?

Hi Lindsay, and welcome to the Forum!

Since THIS is the "Introductions" section of the Forum, I suggest you post again in the RedFoot tortoise section. Most RF keepers will see your question and help you in that section.

In the mean time, you can read all about RF tortoises at the Tortoise Library

Well i wish good luck to us both then. Reptiles seem to be just as finicky about their vegetables as toddlers

Welcome. He needs more green and less fruits. Be sure to check out the redfoot section

Not sure if this is the right place, I'm not good with technology but I would like a bit of advice I'm looking at getting my first ever tortoise and would like to know what I will need and where to purchase one? Please help :(
