They are so adorable! I love their full size as well; not too big, but not too small either! I just adopted my first redfoot today. She is about the size of a silver dollar! So excited to traverse life with her beside me :)
yes perfect size for indoor keeping
@@RichBuddy if your child found a tortoise, he needs to put it back. Wild-caught tortoises are not meant to be housed as pets. There are a TON of tortoises that need to be adopted that aren’t from the wild.
@@sydithenmost wild tortoises are not native, in fact most tortoises that are up for adoption are from the wild
Great video, love the red foots!
It looks like an amazing set up
Greatings from Hungary! :) Nice tortoises! :)
nice videos bro I have two young redfoots. they are my hearts. love them 😂 your habitat for them is awesome
Awesome video I have 3 hatchling redfoots 👀💚🐢
Love it
😄🙏🏻
I love them I have a 4 month year old Red Footed Tortoise and a 3 year old Russian Tortoise
I love those redfooots!!! Seems to be a bit of pyramiding on all of them though. I’d double check their requirements again. Something I just found out is that too much protein or too much calcium supplement may cause that(as well as too little 🙄). I ended up changing my torts diet a bit. You have some beautiful animals, regardless.
Its actually very hard for tortoises to have perfect shells in captivity as yes indeed we do offer probably more protein. But, it is not a bad thing for them, just a little esthetic. They certainly thrive and grow really well!
@@NBKreptiles Raising Red Foots to adulthood outdoors can really cut down or even almost totally eliminate the pyramiding.
Here in Florida we can keep them outdoors year round and maybe take them inside or use heating in an outdoor dog house for a few days to weeks of the year depending upon where you are in the state. During the dry season (basically our winter) give them a nice bath one or twice a week for them to fully rehydrate. The swimming is also great low impact exercise and I use a huge draining flowerpot as a bathtub for their safety and in a shady spot because while I watch them, why not be safe?
If I heard right you’re in Canada and cannot do the outdoor raising for most of the year so some visible pyramiding is almost impossible to avoid. Experimenting with heated enclosures that allow for Direct Sunlight might help but that could get expensive and would not work in a full Canadian winter anyway.
Your tortoises are doing great and appear to be enriched and stimulated plus healthy and happy so that’s the main thing. You are doing great work under tough conditions. We have it easy down here (probably why there’s lots of folks who raise Red Foots and other torts in Florida).
Honestly I think It’s a lack of humidity. Even then tortoises from the same litter raised in the same conditions… some will pyramid some won’t. Sometimes they look like bowser 😅 as long as it ain’t a snaggletoof… it should be fine 😊
@@bryantcapley4803 I’m in Florida also . Mine were adopted as adults. When you do the water “swim” I assume you use a baby pool . How much water do you use?
@@Cdawg1871980 Well, it varies but to get them to swim you just need the water to be high enough that the Redfoot cannot stand on the bottom and has to swim. I would prefer a foot or more of water in a large plastic self-draining flowerpot but you could probably repurpose a kiddie pool and poke tiny holes in it. I like a bigger volume of water as in case the tortoise poops the water won’t be that filthy. You also want to put the swimming vessel somewhere with some shade even though there will be plenty of sunlight since it’s outdoors in Florida. The idea is so that there is no risk of the tortoise getting fatigued and drowning or getting overheated after the water drains but the tortoise still gets some nice low impact exercise for their legs plus hydration.
Hi ! I’m enjoin your videos! -Kevin 👍🐢❤️
Thanks soo much!!
Can you make a updated video?
What is the best kind of live plant To put in there to radium to help with humidity? And thanks for such a great video!
Its a great question. it really depends on what the goal of the plant is. Decoration? can the animal eat it? then it would need to be animal safe, etc... you must do the research!! tortoises eat everything! lol so i put them in pots, and hope they don't tip it over !
Hey I noticed how your torts shells are lumpy to prevent that' keep them moist you should have a water dripper hanging dripping water into there water bowl needs to be humid too they are tropical species I think you should no this
the only captive redfoot with a smooth shell you're gonna see is one that lives outside most of the year. humidity plays a part sure but for the most part redfoots in captivity get a little pyramiding from lack of exercise and too much calcium and protein. if humidity were an issue their shells would have more pyramiding than that cuz i know this guy gives them alot of protein and calcium.
i give mine ground beef (raw) once every 2 weeks
They need more space
It depends… if he takes in. Foster tortoises and rescues…. And they’re all healthy and and eating…, would you remove them? I wouldn’t
Have any for sale ? I’m in Canada
We do not really breed our tortoises, we do have eggs but do not expect anything.
Does a tortoise thrive in a mansion… 4x4 by themselves? Sure… but ain’t nothing wrong w a packed home full of family… if everyone’s eating and defecatint equally it’s fine
i like your videos but this enclosure is a NO No enclosure is to small for the amount of tortoises you have theres no room for your tortoises to walk around
My exact thoughts. I just thought maybe they are outside during the day, hopefully.
