The Redfoot lives out of the house, he was new at the time of this photo and I was just messing around with him...but to answer your question...Houdini does eat a lot...here he is eating peaches, rsapberries, blueberries, blackberries, mushrooms Spring mix, kale, arugula,Beautiful animals, what about the red foot tortoise does he eat a lot? It seems like they get along fine and the cat isn't going to attempt to eat the red foot....
