Hmmm. Wish I could afford to buy shrimp for my human family! Here in Jamaica it's very expensive.They had raw shrimp today, shells on... my Redfoot was incredibly enthusiastic.

Hmmm. Wish I could afford to buy shrimp for my human family! Here in Jamaica it's very expensive.
I wonder if redfoots in their natural forest environment, go "fishing" in the shallow streams for shrimp or crayfish...maybe they do.
I read an article somewhere online that was observing wild redfoots and it said that they did fish. I can't find the article for the life of me, but from what I remember it sounded like some research associates basically went out and watched tortoises for a few days so the accuracy of their observations could be questionable. I know ours has absolutely no issues grabbing floating food out of the water and other owners have talked about them catching geckos etc. so I would think there is a good chance they would try grabbing a crayfish if the opportunity arose.Hmmm.

Totally! But they better keep an eye out for those snapping turtles...!!!I read an article somewhere online that was observing wild redfoots and it said that they did fish.
