Hi guys,
Its been a while since I last posted so I thought I would update. My 3 redfoots have been doing well. I redesigned the habitats vegetation, adding more ferns a mini sago palm and some live moss carpeting.
The sago I got at home depot for $8.99, the hardest part is finding one small enough for my indoor enclosure. The ferns are great cause they don't look at them as food, they provide a ton of shade and natural hiding, and are keep humidity up when misted. The live moss, I scraped off the side of 2 trees while camping. They seem to be very slow growing and don't lose color. For some reason my tortoises choose this area as their pooping side away from their hiding places.
I removed the zoomed ultrasonic fogger as it had stopped working and was really inefficient at its job. I set the humidifier that sits under the table on a multicycle timer. I replaced my little ol spray bottle with a big 2 gallon garden pump pressure sprayer. Home depot for like $20. It was completely worth its convenience.
One thing I noticed is how their motorskills are quickly developing since they were babies and how intelligent their visual processing is becoming. Let me know what you guys think. Or have any questions.
