Mine loves egg too. I don't know about the yolk though, can they eat that too? I also didn't know they could eat the shell! Wow

She has definitely started coming out more! I think she also loves her new fogger. :tort:

Hey I am also a new Cherry Head Red Foot owner! His name was Sheldon but I switched it to Bernadette. LOL If he/she ends up being a he, it'll be Bernie. I had the same concerns, kind of...I was worried I was doing something wrong because she always ended up hiding like ALL the time unless I...

I cannot tell you what a relief that is to me! I do hold her a little every day but not too much so I don't stress her out. I just love watching her when she eats too. She's so darn cute!

It is glass but I have the back covered up. I can most definitely try putting some on the sides as well. She has been with me for about 2 weeks now, is that still "adjustment time"? I just want to make sure she isn't sick. I have been trying to read everything I can. I need to read more on...

I don't know if this is "tortoise health" but I feel like this is the best category so... I had written before about Sheldon (now Bernadette...I know, I know) wasn't coming out and was hiding all day. He/she is just a little hatchling and is a red foot tortoise. The enclosure is 80% humidity...

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry about your little guy. He looked just like my little Red Foot.

Thank you! I love all this information you guys are helping me with, I truly appreciate it!

Oh and a little side note...when I pet his cute little head, he pushes against my finger...like he wants me to apply more pressure (I think). I truly hope this is a good sign! What do you guys think? Sorry I am barraging you with questions!!

I seriously don't know what I'd do without you guys...probably have a small panic attack (joking) but I seriously love this little guy so much already!! I bumped up his temps, but they recommend a little cooler at night, should I be doing that or just leave it around 85/90 all the time?

Ok thanks! The ceramic one I have is textured but I will switch it out for a terra cotta one tomorrow.

Changed his water bowl already...bumped up his temps. I already switched the heat lamp to a ceramic one (well, I think it is anyway) after I had taken this picture. I definitely need to get a different temperature gauge and humidity monitor (I forget what they're called). What about the...

Ok, I have a ceramic plant saucer...can I use that? Or should I stick with tera cotta for some reason? Just curious. He doesn't seem to like the plastic one with the ramp anyway. It's pretty heavy duty but I will definitely switch it out!! Only the best for Sheldon! Is it normal for him to...

I'm concerned about my little Sheldon! He's just a little guy. Oh sorry, he's a baby Cherry Head. I will try to include a picture. Anyway, I have his enclosure all set up. His heat is 80 on one side and 75 on the other, humidity is right at 80%. I think I have everything set up okay but he...

Lil T's Baby Cherry Head

Thanks! I'm a newbie and I definitely read this...so thank you! I'll try to find the "start here" threads before posting questions.

Hi! I am also a new tortoise owner! I really wanted to get a Sulcata but I know I couldn't handle one. They get so big! They are my absolute favorite for sure. I have a new baby Cherry Head, which is very similar to a Red Foot, sometimes just a little smaller and a little more color. My...

The little man in the picture is my 16 year old son, he seemed a little freaked out that Sheldon was climbing up his shirt. He was leaning back on the couch. They are both too stinkin cute!

Hi everyone! My name is Tina. I am 43 years old but have wanted a tortoise for a very, very long time. Probably since high school when I learned that you could actually own a tortoise but I have always been fascinated by them. And I don't know if it's just me, but I am always correcting...
