After getting my Hermann, my Dad is now interested in purchasing a tortoise for himself! He likes the look of red foots. :)

Could anyone advise me please on the equipment, diet, housing they'd need?

Can they be kept in a tortoise box? Also I have read something about a humidifier? Are they easy to keep? What substrate and temp do they require?

Also does anybody know of any red foot breeders in the UK - preferably not the south.

Thanks

Sophie

Pick up the book The Beginners Guide to Raising Redfoot Tortoises by Mike Pingleton, Carapace Press. Perfect to answer all your questions!

I love redfoots but they do require more maintance than most!

Mik'es book, mentioned above, is great, and one of my faves. I've also started a website that has a bunch of info- my own, guest authors,and links to others- at http://www.tortoiselibrary.com

If you have more specific questions, let us know!
