I am heartbroken to no longer be able to keep my son's precious Red Foot, Tortie. I lost my son 3 years ago so its very hard for me to let her go. She is approximately 13 years old and very social. She loves to sleep next to my cat in the cat bed and gets along with people and pets. She has a...

This is Tortie, she's about 5 years old and I've noticed lately that her lungs (at least that's what I think they are) are red and puffy looking. Is this normal? Does she need to see a Vet? She's been eating less but I think its because of the time of year. She still loves to get out and...

Hello Everyone and thanks in advance for any advise they give. This is my sweet girl, Tortie. When I picked her up up yesterday I noticed these white lines on her shell, I had never noticed them before. Also I gave her a soak and if you look at this picture it seems like she has a lump or...

My sweet little girl is 5 years old and in the last several months she's been flipping over about twice a week. Sometimes I come home and she's like that and I don't know how long she's been that way but has never been under a light when it happened. I use "Forest Floor" substrate which is...

Please don't get mad that she got lost, my elderly mother was watching her while she was out and looked away for a minute and she was gone. We have lots of plants and shrubs and four people spent a total of 2 hours or more trying to find her. Its going to get to be around 58 degrees out...

Hello Everyone, I've had my Red Foot for about 8 months, she's 4 years old. Tonight she has her neck stretched way out and her eyes closed. Occasionally she'll pull her head back in then stretch it out very far and go back to the "sleeping" with her neck/head out. She has also been biting...

Hello, I'm looking for answers because have read/heard various things on how to care for a Redfoot. I think have the diet down, and the hydration but am now questioning how to set up her habitats. I was thinking of having her outdoors during the sunlight part of the days in a safe enclosed...
