You guys know I've been hunting for Cherryheads, but yesterday, I had the chance to buy 4 little redfoots. I very nearly passed on them, but I was told that they've been fed exclusively on kale, and that decided me. I brought them home and put them in the yard while I threw together a 50 gal livestock tank to hold them temporarily. I made them up a mix of mesclun, cactus, hibiscus, lemon grass and banana, fed them, soaked them, weighed them and put them in a quiet spot.
I'll be moving them into one of these in a few weeks, meanwhile the tub is so much bigger than the 20 gal they were sharing with two others.
The 20x 20 yard isn't finished yet, and they'd get lost in it even if it was, so I'm thinking of building them a little 4x8 or 8x8 run under that little oak tree.
I've kept redfoot before, but never babies, so i'm guessing when I say they're weighs are a little low.
#1, 3 7/16" 136g
#2, 3 3/16" 123g
#3, 3 7/16" 129g
#4, 3 1/2" 136g
You who have redfoot babies, let me know. Anyway they'll be getting a proper diet from here on, and spending plenty of time outside.
