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.

    Red footed tortoise

    Posted by Courtney Johnson on Dec 18th 2024

    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

    Posted by William Rodriguez on Oct 16th 2024

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

    The tortoise arrived in good shape, but was delayed in the post office for 5 days. The TurtleSource stopped communicating after I mentioned the issue.
