Hey everyone, I know there's lots of posts about this (kind of), but my Zoo Med tortoise table just came in the mail! Which I'm pretty excited about! I've had my little guy for about 2 months and he's already outgrown his 40gal tank (understandable). My goal is to eventually keep adding to this...
I have no idea how old my red foot is. He is about 6 inches long. How much should I be feeding him daily? Like I know what (ideally) to feed, but everyone always talks about how much these tortoises eat and mine doesn't. He currently eats 1 baby bella mushroom, 1 small chuck of cantaloupe (or...
Not at all! Thanks for all your help as well. I've been posting tons of threads lately but Monty is finally adjusted and boy, he is a character. Had to take the plants out because he was destroying them! haha

Sorry i've been posting a lot - I'm a new RF mom so I have a lot of questions!
First, my RF, Monty, has been adjusting slowly, so i've been letting him have his space. He spends about an hour max out of his hide a day. I've had him for about a week and i've only forced him to soak twice so I...
