Hey I am new at this any tips or tricks of the trade would be awesome. I have a yearling sulcata and a baby red foot. They are housed together. I spray them down every other day for humidity and then when its nice they go outside in the playpen. I put half of the playpen in the sun and half in the shade. As well as water and some weeds. Thanks for any tips
Lisa

Hi Lisa:

You need to read up on the care for your two different species of tortoise. They take different care, and should not be housed together. There is some very good reading for you at the top of the Sulcata section on how to care for your sulcata, then for the redfooted tortoise we have good articles on their care in the
Tortoise Library

Species should never be mixed.
