Troggy finds his daily soaks much less annoying if I stuff food in his mouth the entire duration. First mushroom - it was a hit!
Trogdor the Burninator is here!

Troggy really gets into breakfast. Literally.
Trogdor weighed in at 82g this afternoon, 10g up from a week ago. Good job, little guy! (And he took am enormous poop just before weighing, too.)
I finally caught the little monster going up his ramp! Also, I took him out after his soak tonight and he fell asleep in my lap. My heart swelled with love for the little guy. (No photo because I didn't want to reach for my phone and disturb him.) He woke up a few minutes later and pooped on me... So there's that.
Trogdor the Burninator is really enjoying his second level these days. I don't have the basking area set up in a way that is safe and secure yet, but I rigged a situation that will work as long as I'm here to keep an eye on it, so I turned it on and he immediately went to investigate.
I dropped some weed mix seeds into his enclosure earlier this week, and they're growing... Like weeds! I saw Troggy enjoying some en route to his food dish this morning, which made me happy.

Update! Little guy has gotten so curious. Of my hand goes into his home, he comes out to investigate. He will walk right onto my palm, which leads me to believe he doesn't mind handling. He gets out both to his roof garden and my lap, and explores both. He's eating up a storm (I've had to reseed his vivarium weeds!) and seems to be growing. He's due a weight check tonight.

Sounds like a great tortoise
I love the little guy! I've basically stopped reading, watching TV, and surfing the internet because I'm always watching "Troggy TV" these days!
Secret agent tort he is a secret agent tort lol
He's going to be so disappointed when he gets bigger than the leaves... though they're also growing. And I suppose it's possible he'll still think they hide him.
Good thing that will be a while from now
Troggy maintaining his landscaping!
He is a real gardener lol
Maybe I should start making him look for work and charging for his services!
Gorgeous habitat you've created!
I can't take credit for much of it: @LemmyBites designed, built, and scaped the enclosure. I added substrates and planted the edibles and am primary tort caretaker!

What a handsome and precious little guy! I loved reading about his adventures. He sure is lucky to have you!

Hey thanks, he's pretty terrific.
At roughly 4.5 months (we arbitrarily made his birthday 4/15 since all we know is that he was hatched in April), Trogdor weighs 97g. Little fatty will probably be over 100 next week! I don't know if that's big for a redfoot his age, but it seems like a milestone to look forward to!
