Hey there! My wife and I are interested in adding a pet tortoise to our back yard. We live near Daytona Beach Florida. Our backyard is about a quarter acre, so we are interested in redfoots, unless we should consider another species?
I’m planning on building it a home out back, but other than that what else should it need? It will have plenty of grass and weeds in addition to supplemented greens and calcium. If I get a small one (<6”) when can I safely put it out back for good? Will I need to raise it inside for the first year or so?
Thanks in advance for the help and I look forward to learning from this community.
