Hi everyone,
I am moving to a northern climate in a few months, and am looking to adopt my two adult female redfoots into a new home so they can stay in tropical Florida. They are approximately 15 years old, and I have had them for the last 4 years. Both girls are very sweet, readily approach me for food, and live outdoors the majority of the year.
This is important to note: I recommend that these girls are not housed in a home or habitat with other tortoises. Two years ago, one of them had an upper respiratory infection that was determined to be a parasitic infection known as Testudine Intranuclear Coccidiosis (TINC). Both girls were treated with ponazuril for 2 months and are now healthy, but are not guaranteed free of TINC. The one that was originally sick has some whistling in her breathing, but otherwise acts fine and is a pretty voracious eater.
I am not asking for any fees, and am happy to provide bowls, supplies, CHE, indoor enclosure, etc. These two will make wonderful pets for someone looking for two medium sized, personable redfoots. I am in Gainesville FL and cannot ship, but I can drive to meet you if gas is reimbursed. Thanks so much for looking.
