For anyone who is interested, plant #1 is a dichondria and it seems to be safe though I haven't tried yet. Anymore ideas on the plantain, are there any poisonous look alikes, I say this because to me, bright colors mean bad to eat. I will check for flowers today to get a more positive ID and...
Can anyone help me with plant ID and let me know if they are safe or toxic for tortoises. Thanks
Plant #1
Plant #2
Plant #3
Plant #4
Plant #5
This one was kind of fuzzy so it didn't seem like food but I thought that I'd ask for an ID.
I always forget how so many people don't have grass lawns unlike here in NC. We have Bermuda/fescue (no idea if that was spelled right) which my baby redfoot will nibble on when she gets outside time, they are definitely not grazers. I've heard that people who do use grass will just plant a...
The redfoot tortoises don't seem to eat as much grass as the African species such as Sulcata and leopards but they still seem to on occasion and I'm such they enjoy a little. I have clover and dandelion seeded for my girl so any kind of broad leafed plants or weeds would be better than grass in...
So, I'm also planning on starting an inside Winter enclosure after I do the outside one, probably 4x2x1 ft dimensions with closed floor and open top, same questions.
1. Should I use wood glue or nails/screws and what should my worries be regarding rust?
2. What kind of wood?
3. Also, do most...
@wellington. She is approximately 8 months, a little over 3 1/2 inches long. It wouldn't be for permanent housing, just for outside time that I wouldn't have to be supervising her so she can be safe and secure as well as have outside time while I'm not there.
So I've stated planning an outside enclosure for penny, my redfoot tortoise. She's gonna be in North Carolina so the temperature is currently in the 70s early 80s and humidity is around 50-80% with rain two or three times a week. Like today, weather is 76 degrees Fahrenheit and is raining with...
. Please don't mind the mess but as you can see it's very simple 20 gallon with temps at 80-85 and humidity at 70-80%. Humid hide with paper towels reindeer moss and what I think is called pillow moss, green sort of grass like stuff. A little Tupperware container that she can sometimes use...
We named her Penelope and she's doing good, we're setting up an outside enclosure for her this weekend. Anybody have any clarifications on the bok Choy and vitamins? Also we got some turnip and mustard greens as well as some spring mix that we added to the escarole and she's also been getting...
If anyone has information on handling, especially for baby Redfoot especially under one year I would really appreciate it. I've been carrying her around outside sometimes because I don't want to leave her alone and just for general handling she seems pretty outgoing and calm but should I be...
