Hi guys,

I have 3 red foot tortoises around 3,93701 inches. Are they for you hatchlings or juveniles?

other questions are they too young to know their sexes?

3"? Yes, too small yet to be able to discern their gender.

I'd be careful about those grey blue rocks. One of my redfoots eats gravel like it is a delicacy. I am constantly picking up rocks to try to keep them out of her stomach.

Thanks for the advice, so far they have not tried to eat them, nether the less I shall be cautious

I am more worried about the wood being in contact with any moisture. I line the inside of the enclosure with pond liner, but you could also use something like a shower curtain to keep the wood from molding or falling apart.

Oh a shower curtain is a good idea!
