I don't know a lot about redfoots, but it seems fine. Remember to rinse it. Apparently they go crazy for the stuff @ZEROPILOT can you help?
Any berries fit for human consumption can be fed to a Redfoot in moderation.
Also melons and most other fruits.
Redfoot can digest sugars that most other species can not

It’s awesome that this species in particular can digest fruit over the other type of species such as the horsfield/ hermanns. I am no expert on RF or CH but know they are slightly different to a degree with care than other species.
Very interesting.

red foots are also probably one of my top favorites.

here is a cool pic of a red foot I met over the weekend at a really cool pet store called Zimmers

That Redfoot shows some moderate pyramiding from being kept too dry.
He's not off to a very good start

I also agree on that. But I am not an expert on this species. I know it has to be kept in a humid warm environment which it definitely was not in.
