Hey Karen, Thanks for the reply! Wow I had no idea Redfoots could produce urates - but it makes sense because he's recently eaten some protein. The urates are soft and creamy so I guess everything is OK.

Hey everyone, For the past 2 days while soaking my Redfoot I noticed that when he pees in the water, a white stringy substance comes out as well. His poop is normal and firm, but his appetite and activity have slightly decreased recently. Has anyone encountered anything like this before? Here...

Hello everyone! Just thought I'd update y'all: As of this morning he's eating and moving around normally again!! In fact he seems even hungrier than before. Tried to eat everything in his path on his walk. Hopefully this keeps up and the danger has passed. Thanks again for all the help and...

Hey guys, just to update: Yesterday evening I managed to bring him to the vet who gave him an injection of Atropine which is the antidote for organophosphate poisoning. Told me to call back if he exhibited any of the symptoms of poisoning which were: salivation, droopy limbs/head and eye...

Thanks for the heads up. The issue with seeing a vet is the only reptile vet is a good hour's drive away - and we're under semi-lockdown so I might need to get a letter of permission to travel long distances. So far he seems to be behaving normally, albeit slightly more lethargic than usual...

Hey guys, So he seems a little lethargic this morning, but he took a big drink of water from his water dish. @Blackdog1714 @KarenSoCal So I did actually google Chlorpyrifos, but there wasn't much info about it's effects on torts specifically; Regardless, I have already advised my dad not to...

Hey everyone, So earlier today I was taking my ~1-year old Redfoot out for a walk, and I fed him an earthworm from the garden - only to find out that my dad had earlier treated that patch of soil with a pesticide (Chlorpyrifos). I did wash the worm with tap water before feeding it to him, and...

That's really helpful info, thanks! My redfoot seemed to really love eating it and it grows very quickly so it'd definitely be a nice addition to his diet.

Neat! Thanks

They don't seem to have anything listed on there about this particular plant

I thought so too, at first. But it doesn't quite have the signature heart-shaped leaves clovers usually do

Wow! Google Lens is a modern day miracle ?. Hmm, I can't find any resources online on whether it's safe to eat for torts though, any idea?

Hi everyone, my redfoot was out for a walk in the garden and ate a whole bunch of this weed. It has small purple flowers, and a slightly fuzzy stem. Google Lens identification seems to indicate that it is Creeping Tick Trefoil (Grona Triflora), but I'm not 100% certain. Does anyone have...

I see, thanks for the tip! I will definitely get on that right away. :):)

Hi everyone! Just bought a baby redfoot about a month ago, and noticed these small brown patches of discoloration on his underside... could this be shell rot? They definitely weren't there a few weeks ago.
