Just a suggestion..are the rocks in your enclosure? Keep an eye on your tort. They love to eat rocks. Especially smaller ones. Its best to put large rocks in. [/align]

Can I add to the questioning in this thread? Fruitless banana plants, the fast growing, cold weather hearty house plant from Japan; does anyone know if these are safe or perhaps edible for Red Foots? I've acquired several and they are growing very well
