    Hello, thank you for your advice! I will add more cover and try to do something about that UVB light. As far as feeding it animal matter I have yet to feed it any of that yet because I'm not quite sure which is safe to feed it. Maybe some eggs eventually. Overall thank you again for your advice...

    That's such a versatile name love it! :D for me spike names came from my favorite character in TMNT and tank is because he's a turtle and he's tanky but yeah probably one of the two <3

    Ah, I see. I have fed him fruits like watermelon and strawberries before but just not that often. Also cucumbers too! So feeding redfoots a lot of fruits is ok then right?

    Woah I see sorry I didn't know! the store people where I bought the tortoise said that's what they feed it so I opted to do the same. I also got some Repashy Grassland Grazer for it but it's not interested in eating that from what I can observe. I also soak my tortoise in Zoo Med Electrolyte...
