Hi, I am the new owner of a redfoot tortoise. He (or she) is about 4"
I have had my little guy for one week, and I still can't get him to take more than one bite of his food- I have offered him melon, lettuce, kale, endive, strawberries, etc.
I just rearranged his enclosure with some plants, in the plastic tubs they came in- now it seems like he is trying to eat the plastic! Is he really trying to eat it or does this biting serve another purpose? I got a Club Moss and a Spider Plant, he took a few bites out of the spider plant... from what i've read, this doesn't seem like it should hurt him, but does anyone have experience with their red foots eating/trying to eat either of these things? (the plastic tubs, or spider plant?)
I am also wondering if anyone knows a good warm mist humidifier for Red Foot's enclosures?
Thanks for your help!
