I'm trying to work my redfoot up to eating pinkys. Didn't think he was big enough yet but he looks to be about the same size as yours so maybe this weekend he will get a special treat. Excellent video
Yummy pinkies!

That was my very first attempt at feeding her pinkies. She's 3 1/2 years old, 6" and 704g as of September. She's always been a little piggy :-D

Wow really interesting video I had no idea they ate mice. It's natural and good for them so why not!! I have a Russian and they are meant to be omnivores but he has eaten worms and woodlice he has found whilst grazing.

I was amazed to see that even though she is captive bred, her instincts kicked in right away.
NOM NOM NOM. Great video! Beautiful tortoise

Thank you :-D
I couldn't get 20 seconds into it.... It gave me an upset stomach. And that is why I will NEVER have RF's or YF's. (the little girl in the nackround saying noooooo.... Didn't help either )

I truly didn't expect them to be alive, now I ask for dead and frozen. She gets so excited when she sees it, now she inhales it in 8 seconds flat :-D
I don't allow cable TV, my kids watch a lot of Animal Planet shows so they are familiar and comfortable with the prey/predator circle of life.

Red foot do need some animal protein, they are able to digest it. There are alternative to feeding mice, like chicken or cat food, but I'm comfortable with it. So are my daughters, we now take turns dropping it in
I'm glad my tortoise is vegetarian.... Although he eats anything he finds, pretty sure he'd eat the hamster if the hamster wasn't faster than him!
