Hope the hoover mission was a success!

How big is your redfoot? For small ones I'd really limit the protein to get good growth in the early years. A little bit as far as we can see may he massive in terms of a tiny tort tummy. As they get bigger its easier.

I take it they are garden worms? I'd kill them first in boiling water. Haven't used them for redfoots myself but my friend uses them for his fish. Twice a week would be fine as long as its small quantities and she is a decent size! I'd suggest varying the protein souce though for variety, maybe include defrosted prawns covered in vitamins? Theres also rat pups if the tort is big enough and some people use tortoise pellets for protein purposes. Others use boiled chicken - trying to think of as many as I can! Don't worry if its not exactly twice a week, they won't mind missing a bit.

I think they had vacs in lidl the other day. Problem is getting them light enough I suppose.

I know nothing about chameleons (god that's tricky to spell!) but I don't think they get that big
They do need fairly spacious cages though, unless you get pygmy's.

I think flamers are daft, if they can't offer friendy advice then they shouldn't offer any...... RFUK claims to be a friendly place, I've yet to see it in any other section from shelled.......
And yet shelled has a terrible reputation on the rest of the forum!
