How's your yellow foot doing? Feeling better?

I thought my poor "girl" had been disemboweled when I figured out it was a male! Now I know not to be alarmed when I hear quacking coming from his hide. He's grown really found of his hot water bottle. ?:eek:

Oh Lord! Mija is 11. I never weighed him? probably 6lbs. I live in California. i'm curious what your outdoor enclosure is like. Honestly he sleeps inside our house because we have lived in really small spaces without a yard. We recently moved to a house and he gets to hang out outside a lot. But...

Update: He finally pooped a very large perfect tootsie roll. No chicken bone but at least he's not impacted!

How old is vern?!? How much does he weigh?

I would let them try it and then the poop will tell you everything! If it gives your RF the runs then I would stop. I have only fed my RF the basics like tunas from cactus, pineapple, mango, papaya with great results. The only fruit that doesn't sit well with my RF or blackberries and kiwis.

A rat trap!?!?! Holy ****! That just blew my mind! He's around ten years old. Copy on the temp. He sleeps with a hot water bottle every night so he should be toasty! I guess I'll just keep an eye out on his poop! Thanks for the feedback!

Hey there! Honestly I definitely wouldn't it can be toxic. Your RF seems pretty young yes? My RF was super picky when he was young. They like variety. What do you feed your Tort? I feed mine mostly Dandelion Greens, collard greens, stinging nettles, purslane, cactus, very rarley kale. Honestly...

I have been giving my RF chicken bones for several years now. Specifically as a cuttlebone. It's worked out pretty well. He usually just chews on the soft sides of the joints eats the cartilage and walks away from it. About six months ago I caught him with about 2-3 inch piece of chicken bone...

He just ate it about 5 minutes ago. Hes eating collard greens now. I guess ill just keep in eye on him right? Happy New Year!

Hey there! My tortoise ate a random mushroom in my yard. Looks like he just had a few bites. How worried should I be?

Yes! I've heard so many amazing things about adobe as a great insulator. My husband works for Santa Cruz State Parks here in C.A and will be working on patching an old Adobe historical building in the district. I thought if he gains enough knowledge it would be fun to experiment. Thank you for...

Thanks! Will look into that!

Does anybody have any experience using electric heat coils under a stone floor for hot box? I'm planning to build a year around outdoor hot box plus tortoise run for my 8 yr old red foot. I have a friend who has done this for her sulcatta. Also has anybody experimented with earthen materials...

Hey there! I also have a redfoot about the same size and age of your tort! I also use the same tank you have as a night time hide. She hangs out all day outside in the garden and I bring her in around sunset. I feed her/soak her and then she konks out in her tank for the night. The glass is...

She was out soaking in her dish. I leave her out when its sunny outside. she's a roamer. She goes in and out of the kitchen to the yard as she pleases on nice days a couple times a week, just for an hour or so. She is well taken car of. Anyway, I think it was just the dandelions. Shes been...
