Quick update: LittleFoot has been here for 2 weeks now. He's still a little shy guy but I'm getting way better at this. Today after he's done soaking, I'm going to try getting him to eat some squash.
Here's his food LIKES list: spring mix, dandelion, kale, strawberries, mango, green peppers.
DISLIKES: so far collard greens and mustard greens won't touch them!!
I ordered some Mazuri pellets so hopefully they will be here sometime this week!
I got acrylic for the top of his tank and I haven't seen the humidity drop down below 80% so I'm really happy about that. Hopefully today I'll be able to finally add all the plants I got last weekend.
I got a scale today, the little guy weighs 183 grams. He's 4 inches long. I know the person I got him from said that he has had him for about 2.5 years and that he was tiny when he got him. I'm going to assume he's about 3.5 years old?
How does the growth pattern for tortoises work? Is he going to be this tiny forever now? Or is there a chance he can get some more size to him? I'm assuming he's a cherry head RF because of his colors on his head and I know those are smaller than typical redfoots but I'm just wondering what to expect.
