    Redfoot

    I volunteer at a refuge - we have a 15-18 month old Redfoot and have been offering live protein (worms, mealworms, phoenix worms) every other week. I've never seen her eat them and find them later in substrate. Wondering best protein sources (I fed egg yesterday and it disappeared quickly) and...

    What kind of tortoise is this?

    What would make the lower beak jut out like that. I’ve only seen the upper beak overgrown?

    Kamp Kenan

    Def folks should get what they want. What I mean is Sulcatas are less forgiving (at least as youngsters) of poor or even just inadequate husbandry and their husbandry is harder to maintain for a lot of people (depending on where they live)
