Hello,
I have a redfooted tortoise named Lucy. She is almost 6 years old now, I have had her since she was 1. I have been a university student the past 4 years but am recently graduated. Regretfully, a tortoise was probably not the best pet to get at this stage in my life as from now on I will be travelling a lot. My parents cannot take proper care of her and although I love her very much, I want to find her a forever home with someone who can provide her with the best possible life.
I will only consider experienced tortoise owners. She is very friendly and curious. In the 6 years I have had her she has retreated into her shell only twice. She is about 10.5 in long and 7in across. She eats very well and loves to walk around and explore. I am not sure how she is with other tortoises as she has never met one. I am going to take her to the vet in the next few weeks just for a check-up and a clean bill of health. She has never had any major health problems.
Currently she is living in a wooden enclosure I built (just over 4ft by 2ft), although it is not an ideal size for a full grown red foot (I was going to build her a new one as soon as I had my own place, but plans have changed - she gets out everyday for hours on end for exercise). I would be willing to sell the enclosure with her as a temporary home if need be.
I am from the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) and would be willing to drive quite far to drop her off to a new, loving owner. I prefer not to ship her anywhere.
I am not sure what else to include here, I just want to know she is going to a good home.
Please comment or message me if you have any questions or would like more information.
