Hello! Chip my redfoot is a Male about 8" x10". We figure he is about 10 yrs old. I live in NE Ohio and we have cold weather from around Oct thru May before Chip can go back outside in his enclosure during the warmer months. His indoor enclosure is a large box, around 6' x 3'. I have tried to put plants in there but he tramples them down & destroys them.I keep the room warm and have been ocassionally letting Chip run around the room for exercise & some external stimulation. I walked in the room barefoot & he went after my toes trying to bite them. I had red polish on them so I thought maybe he just thought they were something to eat. I went in there with shoes on and he literally braced himself and rammed my foot a few times. He is starting to creep me out because he kind of chases me around the room. It doesn't hurt, but I'd like to tap into the knowledge of the longtime redfoot owners and ask why he is getting kind of aggressive with my feet! Please advise! I feel bad keeping him confined to the box for 7 months so that is why I let him run around the room a few times a week.
