Red footed Arya's new Mom

[MalB]

Hello,
Happy I found this forum.
I just became the happy mom to a one-year-old red-footed tortoise. She's beautiful. She's smart. My little Pekingese is obsessed with her. Relieve that she's been tested for parasites and salmonella and she doesn't have either that says she's very healthy. However, I read up that avocado could cause organ damage and I gave her a little for the first time yesterday. I read on a previous thread that avocado was okay to give to a sulcata. Should I be worried? She is eating.

Welcome and congratulations - you are obviously being a very careful new mom. I don't think you need to panic about a small amount of avocado, but I'm sure someone with knowledge of red-foots will be around soon.

Hi and welcome.

You have a Redfoot, correct?
Not a Sulcata.
A bit of avocado is fine for a Redfoot
