I am new to the red foot world. I have had my Russian, Jeff, for 5 years before I brought my new, red foot, Pepper, home last month. I am learning the ins and outs of owning a South American species. Boy, what a difference! Thank goodness for sites like this one. Thank you for the great advice. I awoke to a similar mess this morning. The culprit....boiled egg yesterday. Well, I think that's what caused the vomit and diarrhea. I fed her egg before with no problems. This time I wasn't so lucky, yuck,! I thought for sure she was gravely I'll until I read this post and put 2 and 2 together. Thank you sooo much!

I keep redfoots and out of the 5 i have 2 have done the same after eating egg. I do not feed them eggs for protein anymore. And its never happened again. I admit it was scary. Sorry it happened to yours. I hope things are better now.

I was so worried! She had eaten egg in the past with good results. In fact, she seemed to love it. I won't try it again. She didn't like the chicken I gave her a couple of weeks ago. She's kind of a picky eater. She loves mango, strawberries and I've found she'll eat her mixed greens better if I pulverize a section of orange and mix it in. I tried to offer her a red worm once and she was afraid of it!
