Hey guys just wanted to take some updated pics of Fabio for all of you guys out there, plus pics of the new enclosure i built for a little (well not so little ) surprise i got last week. As i was checking my facebook a friend of mine posted pictures of a full grown Redfoot tortoise he found wandering around his yard. Knowing he wouldn't be able to take care of it I gladly offered to take him as my own. I looked in the local paper for missing Redfoot listings but as of yet nothing, so I'm happy to say i have a new fully grown ( i think ) Redfoot male named Bubba! He was in a temporary home all through the weekend but with my dad's help we built him a proper enclosure outside and by tomorrow he should have a nice bed of cypress mulch, more plants, and an actual hide instead of the recycling bins we have been using temporarily.
I do have one question Fabio is now close to 2 years and 240 grams, at what point in time do you think i should move him to the outdoor enclosure with Bubba. I know Bubba is being fed once every 3 days and Fabio is more like everyday sans a day a week here or there. Should i wait another year or two before putting these guys together in the same pen? Pics below!!
