Gerry.

You are very welcome I am very tired and have probably missed some info.I will help out more tomorrow.I am sure when she gets warmed up she will liven up more.Goodluck and good on you for all the work you do.

Littlefoot, please correct me if I am wrong here.

Gerry if you cant get a viv or tort table then try using a indoor guineapig or rabbit cage. I would say your gonna need one that is about 4ft long x 2 ft wide as the redfoot is a good size.

I use them for my two torts and it works well. If you get the type with the wire tops you can suspend the lights from them if need be.

Yes Vicky absolutely correct and a very good suggestion.They are excellent for tortoises as long as they are big enough

Hi she is in a 2ft rabbit hutch with shredded paper to keep her warm at the moment.Would you say this redfoot is an adult at these measurments.
Gerry.

No she isn't fully grown she can reach around 12 inches and more,they get quite big

Thanks, they work better for me because of my cats.

I am off to bed now will help out more tomorrow,night all.

nite nite littlefoot.

Gerry this is my tort Georgies cage.



Something of this size should do the redfoot okay.
