So every weekend my in-laws have a huge breakfast. Always have fresh fruit. So my question is this. Could I bring my 2 month old red footed with me? Make a small travel enclosure? Or would it stress too much? Obviously I would be super careful and there are no children so it would be safe. I was...
It was only a few bites. As for the chicken and eggs. I’ve read a few articles that said they scavengers and opportunistic? They will eat carrion? And that chicken is ok. And someone else told me theirs love hard boiled eggs. I tried the worm and mealworm approach and it didn’t want anything to...
The one article said it to stress about UVB lights? That’s what I was most stressed about. Everyone seems to yell about that one.
so he’s eating mostly Mazuri. He seems to love it. I change up different veggies and fruits. Trying to see what he likes. I also gave him a small amount of proteins...
2 month old red foot only seems to eat during nightly baths? When in its enclosure it just burrows and hides.
Ambient temp in the mid 80’s during day and mid 70’s at night. Humidity is in the 80’s during the day and 70’s at night.
I have a UVB bulb.
We haven’t pooped yet.
Should I worry...

Mostly it has been...
The 10 gallon is definitely temporary. We are going to pick up a nice big tote this weekend. We are already planning on a large outdoor area and a large indoor area for the winter. I’ll try to get some better pics in the morning.
We just got a baby red footed tortoise. It’s about 3-4 inches. Right now we have it in a 10 gallon with mesh lid. Coconut substrate. The soft fluffy kind. It’s eating great. We got the Mazuri diet and also give greens and fruits. The humidity is always above 70% and temp is constantly around 75°...
We got our first tortoise. A red Footed. He is going to be a day without UVB light as we had to order a new one. We had him out yesterday in the sun for about an hour. And I’ll have him out for a bit when I get home. Will he be ok without UVB for the day? It’s only going to be one day.
