Product Description
Red-footed Tortoises are the inhabitants of the exotic jungles of the Caribbean, Central and South America. They are quite intelligent, they have good memory and learn rapidly where and when food is available; and where shelter and basking is to be found. They have a strong sense of smell, and their sense of touch includes even the slightest contact with their shell.
Grasses, clover hay, dark, leafy greens, (except for spinach) cactus, carrots and mixed vegetables are all good for Red-footed Tortoises. Sweet, red fruits are their favorites. Supplements that are high in calcium and low in phosphorus, are best for this hearty species.
Red-footed Tortoises do very well in community settings. With a little extra care, hatchlings thrive with other tortoises. Shallow, warm water soaking every third day, a warm basking spot and plenty of food is the key for these pretty starter tortoises.
Red-footed Tortoises are one of the most popular species kept the world over - and once you begin working with them, it's easy to see why.

We love our little Gambit
We received our new baby, Gambit, and his food yesterday and I ❤️ him so much!! He's so beautiful, active, and healthy. He was packaged very well. Right out of the box he was a little feisty guy.? I have to say that the customer service is also top-notch. They actually took the time to talk with us about our new baby and answer any questions we had via phone and e-mail. 100% recommend! Thank you so much!

My son LOVES his tortoise
My son has wanted a tortoise for a while now and local options were limited. I had to scour the internet for a reputable seller as the market is flooded with scammers and terrible sellers. I finally found this company, researched, found great info on them and their reputation. The tortoise we received is perfect. Healthy, exploring, eating and seems happy all within 24 hours of receiving it. It was delivered EXACTLY as described and purchase was smooth. My son LOVES his tortoise and Im super happy with Turtle Source. I WILL be back to purchase a Sulcata soon. Thank you Turtle Source!!!

Red Footed Tortiose Hatchling
After much research about what type of tortoise would be best for our family, we landed on the red footed tortoise. Turtle Source not only had the best value but made sure the hatchling was not shipped during unfavorable conditions while still getting it to us by Christmas. The customer service was very responsive and we received a healthy hatchling that is doing well. We have had it about a week now and have seen no signs of distress. I would certainly order again if I had a need. Thank you for our new family member!

Red footed tortoise
Ordered a well started hatchling. Was little worried due to the time of year but it was a birthday present. Arrived a little cold but on time. Is the cutest little thing ever. Very friendly and does not always hide in its shell. Very happy with our purchase. Will order again!

Red Footed Tortoise
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently purchased a red-footed tortoise from The Turtle Source, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, the process was seamless. My tortoise, Milo, arrived in perfect condition—happy, healthy, and full of life. The packaging ensured his safety during transit, and the team clearly takes great care in how they handle and deliver their animals. The customer service was top-notch, with clear communication every step of the way. The detailed care guide they provided has also been incredibly helpful as I get to know my new pet. I highly recommend The Turtle Source for anyone looking to purchase a tortoise. They truly care about their animals and their customers, making this an experience worth 5 stars!
