    New closed chamber

    Looks great! I just have a couple questions, as I'm in the process of building one myself. First, the track is a great idea. I had no idea it was so cheap. But what about the sides? Do they just butt up to the wood(or whatever you used), or is there another piece for the sides to seal well...

    Soil and worms

    If I use some dirt from around this ranch going to be sufficient mixed with coconut coir? We have plenty of unfertalized untouched ground. I've just never really seen much about using local dirt.

    Bigger House Indoors

    Not sure what your plans or budget are. But in the enclosure I am building right now, I plan to line the inside with pvc board (if I can find it near me), or a similar shower wall paneling (I can't remember the name but it's a textured, waterproof, scratch resistant material I found at menards)...

    Soil and worms

    So I am building a new enclosure for my redfoots, and it's going to be pretty big. That said, I am wondering if earthworms would be possible to put in their soil. I once read (and of course I can't remember where/when) that they can help keep the viv cleaner as they will process droppings and...

    Cuddle bone question

    Thank you all so much, I feel a lot better about it now. I'll just leave one in there and let them decide. And does anyone know about the egg shells being hard on them? Mine are only a few months old...

    Random sprouts?

    Definitely not a fungus. Mine have been two-leaf sprouts with fairly long skinny leaves. Never thought about replanting them to see what they are...

    Random sprouts?

    I'm so glad I found this. I've been finding this same issue in my enclosure! I wasn't sure if it was the coconut or the moss, but this answers that. What brand is it? And please let me know if you find out what they are, I'm really curious.

    Cuddle bone question

    That's actually 2 different torts, Tom. I got them from Vicky at the tortoise yard. I'm glad you like them! And thank you Christina, I never heard of using eggs with the shells.

    Cuddle bone question

    Hey everyone, So I was just wondering if it's normal for my redfoots to not touch their cuddle bone. They're on a pretty standard leafy diet, with fruit and protein throughout the week. I started using calcium powder since they never eat the cuddle bone. But was just wondering if I need to be...

    Interest in a group on DIY High End Humidifer

    Definitely interested! I live in a very dry area, so a five gallon humidifier sounds like a good investment.

    Another newbie!!

    Hi, My girlfriend and I have been looking at the forums since before we even got our baby redfoots, and decided we might as well join. Meet Douglas and Shiloh! They're roughly 2 and 3 months old respectively, and probably the best investment I have made.
