What enclosure should I get?

[Golden Greek Tortoise 567]

Red foots eat fruit more than most tortoises I’ve heard they like mangoes. Tortoises should also be fed a variety of weeds like dandelions. I find dandelion greens at the grocery stores but mostly I just grow my food. I‘m sure that if you read some of the care sheets there will be a list of food that you can both buy and find.

What part of the dandelion?

 

[Golden Greek Tortoise 567]

All of it

As long as you haven’t put pesticides or anything like that on your backyard or no one has put any outside in a while (a couple months at least or as directed on the label) than you can pick it from outside.

I have three separate 4 inch sulcatas. I went the cheapest but still okay route and am up to around $450 including the tortoises. I know that is a small amount compared to if you got an adult from scratch.

What heat lamp should I buy a ceramic one or a dome one

 

[Brian Nicoleau]

Because at the place I’m in I don’t think there’s any ceramic ones...

 

[Golden Greek Tortoise 567]

As long as it has a ceramic socket then you’re good.

 

[Golden Greek Tortoise 567]

You can buy clamp lamps but just don’t use the clamp.

And should I buy for bark bedding for my tortoise or coconut soil bedding

 

[Brian Nicoleau]

And one last thing what part of a lamp is the clamp?

 

[Golden Greek Tortoise 567]

There are many types of bark bedding including cypress mulch, if the label reads cypress mulch buy that. If by coconut soil you mean coco coir then that would also work. Another option for substrate is orchard bark.
