Redfoot and aldabra together??

[Redfoot!!!]

Hi again everybody, I was just wondering if I can keep redfoots and aldabras together. I’m planning on buying an aldabra (I have the space) and I was wondering if they can live together with my two redfoots and if it reduces bullying too. I know that 2 redfoots don’t work out and needs at least 3 to reduce bullying. So can the third be an aldabra or does it have to be another redfoot? (The aldabra will be the same size as them at first) Thanks.

No. Different Species should never be housed together. Besides the different requirements, pathogens can spread from one to the other and cause illness or death.

Tortoise species should never get mixed as stated above from another member and if u got the space for an aldabra it shouldn't be hard to build seperate enclosures for ur redfoots

Oh ok, sorry everybody I just saw a lot of people mixing aldabras, redfoots, sulcatas, etc together and got confused. Thanks for clarifying.

You should let them know they are making a terrible mistake that is likely to end in the death of the tortoises.

No need to be sorry. The ones that should be sorry are those doing it. They don't care about the well being of the tortoises and are sorry humans for not caring.
You cared enough to ask. That means you care about the well being of the animal.

I agree.
I see it a lot out there in the internet too.
It might be convenient for the keeper, but its irresponsible behavior.
