Hi tort lovers,
My wife and kids went to the pet store yesterday and came home with Ruby, our very first Red Foot. She has already warmed our hearts and we are totally crazy about her. I am so glad I found this site so we can give her the proper care and build her the enclosure she needs to thrive and be happy. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I am starting to read through the site and learn more about what she needs and what she doesn't need. There is so much good information here, I am at a loss where to start.
I would have researched before getting Ruby, but she was a surprise and is here now. I need to play a little catch up. We already had an enclosure from when my son's friend gave us a box turtle. The turtle was from the wild and he wasn't eating so we released him back to the wild.
Please don't hesitate to give me suggestion (even if they are simple and known facts) I am new to torts and want to do everything right for Ruby. Happy to say she ate her banana, kale and her tort food.
Thank You all in advance!
We live in Northern VA.
