With springtime finally here I've been taking the new Redfoot rescue out into the yard for exercise and fresh air and sunshine. She loves it but gets into constant trouble (with me helicoptering). She tries to walk off "cliffs" with seemingly no concept of gravity or falling, climbs things only to rely on my rescue or she'd flip on her back, she beeline to eat everything but the safe green weeds she's supposed to (mushrooms, poop, decayed leaf matter. Please don't judge, the outdoor enclosure is under construction but just wondering how these creatures survive in the wild and live to 50 I have to imagine wild tortoises eat mushrooms...poop...miscellaneous plants. How do they survive it. Fascinating creatures but wow, Dogs are easier!
I'd love to hear from folks that have had tortoises that are 20 or more years old. Do they get wiser with age and exposure? Could yours survive without a controlled environment and supervision?
