Hi, I just got an 8" redfoot 3 days ago and since then I have noticed that she has been whistling through her naves. It is pretty constant and noticeable whether basking after her bath, excited or exercising. Alongside that, we noticed that she has watery eyes sometimes. I think it could be just...

My tortoise (ive never found out if he/she is a redfoot, or yellowfoot) but it appears he has a scab of some sort on the inside of his shell. Spike is usually so excited to be interacted with and loves to explore and be soaked. Today, i noticed he had his head tucked in most of the time during...

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...
