It's made of the IKEA outdoor wardrobe, so there's a chance ))

Unfortunately, photo doesn't allow that great crusting sounds....

Hello! My name is Alex (Alexander) and I've been "read-only user" of the forum for a long-time. And finally, I've decided to make an introductory post on a positive note (before my tort gone exploring the island or got sick). So far, we live in Cyprus. Where "we" - are my family and our much...

Hello, I am really new to this forum! We got a baby Redfoot that is almost 2 months old. She (or he?) had soft but still well formed poops when we got her and about a week ago she started having diarrhea everyday that is really runny and brown. I feed her a variety of collard greens, turnip...

My Redfoot, Fuego, is starting to get bigger and has unfortunately gotten some pyramiding a few months ago. He’s getting too big for his hide now. I’ve placed the hide some slate stones for him to give some extra space but he loves to climb on it for basking! I love that he climbs but it’s...

I'm planning on adding a small grow light for some hanging plants to provide shade and a UVB light into my 4ftx2ft redfoot enclosure. I don't really have time to give my redfoot outdoor baths any more so I want to ensure it gets enough UVB. What length should I use for the lights? I currently...

Hello! I have a 3 month old red foot tortoise old who is not really gaining weight. He weighs 51 grams today and he weighed 50 grams on July 5th. He is eating and active in the mornings/early afternoon, his enclosure temps are around 85° during the day with about 95° basking area and temps do...

His shell growth has been flat and great up until now as he had a small spot of fungus a while back where I had to put him on paper towels for 2 weeks while treating so he had a drop in humidity which I believe caused it. He’s starting to have a gap in between his scutes and it seems slightly...

Hello fellow Florida RF keepers! I need to build a new outdoor hide for my redfoot Lizzie. I am going to make it heated for when the temps drop during winter. My question is, does it need an insulated subfloor or is it ok to for the floor to be the ground (like a 5 sided cube instead of a 6...

Hey y’all, I’m looking for some advice or clarification, whatever people can provide. Here’s the situation, we have a mature (~20 yr old) red-foot tortoise who, due to some mineral deficiency in his early days before we got him, has a larger than normal concave portion on his underside (he’s...

I am about to buy my first Cherryhead but noticed it has one less Scute on the vertebrae, is this something of concern?

Hi all its been a while, I have a redfoot , Yoshi, who is roughly between 7-8 years old. The past 2 weeks, periodically, I've noticed after soaking him that there is a pink-like mass that is protruding from his cloaca. It protrudes after he poops and if I lift him up to observe after a few...

Friend of mine gave me a large bag of dried food her rabbit used to eat. It's sealed and store-bought, but I wanted to see if there's anything on here that my Red foot cannot have before I toss it in. Ingredients: Cornflower,Dandelion, Melissa, Plantain (leafy greens), Alfalfa, Peppermint...

Hi all! I have a roughly 2 1/2 year old redfoot that I am planning on upgrading to a bigger and hopefully long-term enclosure. I really love the look and longevity of the PVC enclosures but know the material itself is quite expensive. For those of you that have tried building one, is it worth...

I have been driving myself crazy for over a month looking for a new house for my yearling redfoots. There is absolutely NOTHING geared towards tortoises other than your typical small tanks or tables. My guys live on my large screened lanai (Florida) with a modified chicken coop as their...

Hello, I am looking to re-home my 11 year old redfoot tortoise, Tommy . She has been a great companion over the years but I believe it will be very difficult for me to continue to own her going forward. As you can see from my profile, I used this forum a lot when I was younger (I cringed pretty...

Cant seem to get my hands on any sample size smaller than 25lbs and my redfoot is so picky, it’s been tougher tryna supplement his diet during the winter (I’ll pay for however much shipping comes out too plus some on top of that) Also if you live in the GTA I could come pick it up myself Thank...
