UPDATE/FULL REVIEW: after keeping my adult redfoot in this for over a year I can safely say this is a great enclosure! LIGHTING: I have 4 incandescent fixtures installed but only ever use 3 at the most for UVA. Since it is a 4 ft tall enclosure I use 150 watt bulbs to make sure the heat...

I don't currently have one of those but ill try to get one soon and try it out.

The jolly egg was a bust but i do have a big tortoise plushie he took interest to for a few minutes. It still wasn't enough to deter him from his shadow though.

Hmmm... my dog has a jolly egg about the same size as him that she never plays with. I can give that a try.

Probably not, I've given him hollow dog toy balls filled with food and he just ignores them.

That's what I'm thinking. I just don't know how to deter him from it if it's stressing him out. He enjoys being out of his indoor enclosure. Even runs to me to be let out for his supervised hour but all he does the entire time is chase his shadow.

I've opened the door for him before but he doesn't seem to care where he is. He even does this outside in huge open spaces. He fixates on the walls or privacy fences and searches for his shadow. If he doesn't see it he walks the perimeter until he does.

Try this one?

Here is a video to show what I mean. At first it just looks like pacing but he clearly stops and nudges his shadow multiple times. https://vimeo.com/user109566114/review/397086030/717ee33e7e

Hi all, I've had my rescue redfoot for a little over 2 years now and I've recently noticed he has a bit of an obsession with his shadow. At first I thought it was just pacing, a habit seen a lot in torts but after some time I've realized he's looking for his shadow. I do supervised indoor free...

My redfoot wouldn't ever try to bite anything anyway unless it actually is food. he's a strange one. given the choice to run around the yard or eat his favorite foods he'll choose adventure every time. He straight up refuses any food if he has new things to explore and is extremely cautious if I...

I'm not looking for him to bite the target, just follow and touch. Different people target train differently, my goal is to get him to go back to his indoor enclosure without picking him up after baths, being outdoors, ect. to prevent stress.

I've recently been looking into reptile enrichment and came across target training. I want to try to target train my redfoot but he isn't really food driven and he's around 26 years old. Does anyone have any experience with target training middle-aged torts? If so do you have any suggestions on...

Hey guys, my T100 was just delivered! It'll be a few weeks before i get it put together and everything but i was wondering if anyone knew how many t5 uvb fixtures I should use for my redfoot? My T100 has 4 fixtures for che to keep temps at around 80° throughout the 8 ft long enclosure and then...

Awesome. I started getting worried when the crack started getting bigger and going down his side but if all that's eventually going to fall off it makes sense for it to start opening up.

Hi all, I've had my rescue redfoot (estimated to be 25 yrs old) for about a year and in that time he has gained about 2 lbs. He's overall really healthy. When i got him he had an old wound that healed kinda wonky. Since he gained a bit of weight the crack left behind has started getting bigger...

Don't know why this photo wouldn't post... lol.

Bonsai, estimated to be around 25.

I hope the little guy pulls through and lives a good long life. Thank you for rescuing him! I'm sure he appreciates the soaks and real food.

Yes, confirmed male. He has a concave shell and he decided to show the goods at his last vet visit.
