I was giving my 3 yr old redfoot a bath and I noticed one of her plastron scutes had fallen off. I was kind of horrified by that but after a lot of research I started immediately treating her with Beta iodine and a topical skin cream. I also used Chlorhexidine diluted to clean the area scrubbing...

Hello, My hatchling redfoot went to the vet. They gave him subcutaneous fluids, ceftazidime, and a gentamicin eye drop. They said he may just be a hatchling that fails to thrive but I wanted to give him a chance. I soak him a few times a day in warm water. Sometimes I had Mazuri diet, carrots...

Hello, I just got a new baby red foot tortoise. My initial plan was to get the set up for a yellow belly slider aquatic turtle; so I had gotten a zoo med basking lamp 75w and a zoo med reptisun 10.0 uvb 13w lamp, which I put both of these in one of those combo light fixtures. I had asked the...

Hi, I recently moved to Austin with my three Redfoots. Is there a reliable boarding/sitting service in the area? My research did not find anything besides sitting for the wagging friends. I would be open to start a coop with other tortoise nerds. Any input is appreciated, thanks

Hello tortoise lovers. Here is another thread about my redfoot tortoise: he has been not eating anything for more than 10 days, meanwhile, no poop at all. Here are some photos of his enclosure down below: We built this new enclosure on April 2 because his old enclosure might be contaminate by...

Hi guys, So I have a baby redfoot tortoise that we've approximated is just around 9 months old. I'm a relatively new tortoise owner, I've only had him for about 7 months now. Recently I noticed a clicking noise when he (idk the gender yet but I say he) would eat, and I realized it was his top...

Hey guys I have an 11 year old female redfoot tortoise (Loki) that I unfortunately think I need to find a new home for.. I am getting busier and our recent home situation has made it harder for me to care for her on the terms and to the level that I would like. I’m just wondering if anyone has...

I have a redfoot tortoise hatchling coming on wednesday, I have read some people saying that they need finer substrate like cypress mulch or something and that repti bark isn’t good enough for them. My temporary set up looks like this so far (still missing the uvb strip) should I add more...
