I have a tiny, SPECIAL NEEDS Redfoot that I've had the last 6 months or so.
He is very stunted (2 years old and the size of a 2 month old)
I received him near death. Blind and unable to eat by himself or walk.
He's looking for a forever home.
He can see now. Not very well, though. He is missing an eye.
He eats anything that you give him and is a strong little walker. Pretty much able to live without help.
That's amazing considering the horrible care in the past that had him on the brink of death.
He will very likely have to remain an INSIDE the house pet due to his size and limited eye sight.

He will come with lights. A small closed chamber enclosure and anything you'll need for a larger one. All included.
There will be no charge. But you must come pick him up in Sunrise Florida 33322.
And you must demonstrate to me that you can properly care for him.
This little guy isn't just going to anyone.
It must be someone dedicated to committing to his continued recovery.

Whoever it is better be set to maintain what a wonderful thing you have done!
I'm very proud.
I think his prognosis is good.
He just keeps exceeding all of my expectations.
(I had expected him to die)

He's done all of the work himself.
Hopefully this forum member will keep us updated.
I'm very curious to see what an entire year of correct husbandry can do.
