Oh my goodness, I had no idea about male tortoises. ? well, maybe we are thankful Rocko turned out to be female after all, haha

Yes, we have an outdoor set up, and put her outside every morning. We bring her inside for the evening, so that’s how we noticed the egg was when we went to get her “up” this morning.

Is there a way to tell if the egg is fertilized?

I have no idea. I only wish we knew, haha

Ok, so crazy story- but we got a redfoot tortoise from a shelter in February. The shelter told us that he was a male tortoise- so that’s what we’ve assumed this whole time. Basically, this morning we found an egg! Under “Rocko” we are in shock, as well as laughing... What do we do? Please help-...

Looks very sturdy. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing. The photos are very helpful. It just gives me some ideas to think about.

Hi, question for those that own a tortoise and dog. How do you create a dog proof enclosure outdoors? We have our redfoot in the backyard during the day, and bring him in at night. We’ve been considering getting a small-medium sized dog in the future- probably within the next year, but want to...

Thank you, yes that’s helpful.

This is so helpful. Thank you!

This is such a great idea. So curious, how did you manage to cut through the plastic bins?

Yes so there’s a bush that he really like to hide behind. During the day there’s not any critters other than some small birds. But I think for now we will bring him inside at night.

Wow really?! I was thinking he looks huge for only being 2... the shelter told us 2, so I was a bit nervous that he’s already this big at 2, so if he is older that’s probably a good thing

They just said it was a yellow foot at the shelter, so curious now
