I need advice from other redfoot owners with information on what my redfoot's behavior might be? I let Chip out for a few hours a day. He stays along my back fence in heavy shrubbery. Sometimes he camouflages in the bushes and leaves, so I have been putting bright blue painter's tape on his back so he is easy to spot. I checked on him and he was basking in the sunlight through the branches. I went to get him to bring him in for the night and he is either burrowed under some dead leaves, or he is on the run. This has never happened before and I have spent many hours searching for him until after dark. I am heartbroken and will be outside first thing in morning to see if he comes out. Can anyone tell me what to look out for? Will he go into open grass? He has always stayed under cover of the bushes and has never left the back fence. Do they have a good sense of smell? Should I put out any certain food for him? Please advise me as to what behaviors I should look for when the sun rises?
