I have 4 red foot tortoises I have had for 4 years now. Unfortunately I moved out of the house I had them and I no longer have space for them. I know anyone using this forum has the knowledge or at least the tools to care for the tortoises properly. If anyone is interested in them please email...
Thanks zero pilot. I appreciate the response. I know your a South Florida resident and I happen to reside in pembroke pines. Could you recommend your tort vet please. Now that I begin to care more for them in the winter. (Bringing them in and out on cold nights and days.) I could collect fecal...

Ooo yea i forgot to share that my 5 inch female. The first time i put her in the deep and he dropped like a rock. At first i thought she had ingested too many actual rocks in the enclosure. But on her second try she took a big breath and was able to float. She isn't the brightest tortoise in the...
All of my Redfoots float. Its not really swiming. They float around and propel themselves with fast swipes of their legs. But the picture below is of my largest female. She will frequently go in the deep end of the pond and float around. She seems relaxed and controlled. My other torts hate it...
Sorry pressed send in accident. Torts especially baby torts have a strong instinct to hide. Unless your leaving them outdoors for good. They will not adjust and feel comfortable in the outdoor space. It can become frustrating when you want you tort to soak up some sun before they go back inside...
