Hello!
I noticed that my local petco has redfooted tortoises on sale for 50% off. I do have experience with other reptiles, but not tortoises. I know that they need homemade enclosures and will be confused with glass. After seeing the little guys at petco, I could see that their shells were pyramiding and they were in some restraining conditions. I'd like to rescue one and currently have a 30 gal breeder (3' L x 18" W x 16" H) that could house them. Is this alright for a baby as long as I put something around the bottom so they do not collide with the glass?
Thanks
