Im not new to owning a tortoise,
Ive had my redfoot tortoise for about 2 1/2 years it seems pretty healthy but just wanted to make sure....
I purchased her from a pet shop...iknow....iknow.....
With slight pyramiding it has definetly not got any worse and i knw it cant grow back into its pyramiding,
I feed her every other day....(do a day miss a day)
I feed.....Lettuces,(not iceburg),Red cabbage,greencabbage,dandelion leafs,dandelion flowers,sweetheart cabbage,sweet lettuce,mushrooms,mix salad bags...stir fry mixes..apple,pears,peaches,plums,mango,butternut squash,watermelon,honeydue melon,orange melon (unkown),grapes,kiwi,dog food..(not alot)...pinkie mice....going to buy some frozen chicks,she finds insects in the garden,grazes on grass,wild flowers(non toxic),
and much more but my mind has gone blank...i sprinkle cuttlefish powder over the food every other feeding!
Setup...
I have a tortoise table plastic base,zoomed forest floor substrate,zoomed sphagnum moss,fake plants,waterbowl,humid hide,cuttlefish to munch on,
2thermometers and 1 hygrometer 82oF on warm side 25oC on cool side,bared lid,i put plastic seethrough lid sorta' thing to cover over 3/4 of table to keep in humidity,a basking bulb a heat matt no uvb because i read on this forum you do not need one if they have the right diet and get outside,
My tortoise gets out everytime the weathers good as i live in UK recently its been really nice and shes been out everyday for the last week!
I mist her 4 times aday (morn,dinner,evening,night) bathe her 3times a week?
i have a outdoor cage that is temporary that gets put away it is tied together with garden ties and easy to move around i put a big water tray in it 2 hides, food and she has alot of grass, and dandelions,
My tortoise is a male and he is 5yrs old (about) and 6inches!-in carapace length.
I named him tiago pronounced-TEE-AHH-GOO
Look in my signature for picture of him,
Thankyous' and pleases' all around,
