Hi All, Thought I would post a quick Aristotle update and share his valentines photoshoot haha! He's still a grumpy little lad but he's eating well and growing well. His rain system is still working beautifully and he seems to enjoy his simulated forest! Here he is enjoying a sneaky...

Hi all (long time no posting!), I've been unable to make it online to chat with work commitments etc but I'm back. Aristotle is doing well and growing beautifully. I tried him on mealworms a while back and he had one and was then not interested in taking them. Even when hidden in his food he...

Hi all, I got my little Aristotle back in August and we think he is approximately 6 months old. We have now come across some hatchlings not much younger than him. My love of RF's just grows everyday and I'd love to have more than one but have a few questions: 1) Is it the right time to make...

Hello, Following a chat on another thread with @Anyfoot I was wondering about my little Aristotle's age. He measures a length of 8cm and weighs in at 97g. When I brought him home the end of August he weighed 76g... I'm not sure how much weight he should have gained in this time but he certainly...

Hello, I've come across this pack today for growing my own tortoise feed but I'm not sure if all of these are Redfoot appropriate, I know some are but I'm not 100% on all. Thanks for taking a look!

Hi All- Redfoot specific plant question coming up! I have recently ordered a number of live plants from an online reptile company in the uk and my word haven't they messed up my order! I have a lack of some of the plants I have ordered, some slight errors in types of Fern sent and then some...

Hello All, I was wondering if any of you could advise on live plants that are suitable for a Redfoot's enclosure. I know that live planting helps with humidity, which is a big reason I would like to include them but obviously I want them to provide shade and an authentic forest environment too...

Hello All, Lovely to meet you all and I'm really looking forward to getting to know you all and learning from your many combined years of tortoise keeping! I'm new to the world of Redfoot tortoise keeping but I'm due to welcome one to the family in the next couple of weeks! (Very excited!)...
