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 foot tortoise hatchling
Our family had a great experience from start to finish with the turtle source. As a parent who wanted to make sure that I was making a responsible informative decision before buying a pet, specifically a tortoise I was happy to see I didn’t have to look far as the turtle source had a considerable amount of information already on their site for each specific breed. Again as a parent navigating the site I found it easy and I personally think the prices are extremely reasonable as well. My sons loved how informative the shipping was and checked the tracking hourly and it was updated hourly. Lastly when I called with a couple of questions I had absolutely no problems getting through, again as a clueless or learning rather parent I appreciate that and just being able to have that resource on standby. Thank you turtle source from our family to yours!

Cute baby tortoise
We decided to order after seeing a discount on these little babies, i received mine the day after i ordered, the ups guy didnt see me and was rough with the package shaking it. My turtle was flipped when i opened but warmed him & he ate immediately after. Such a healthy appetite, and great personality. Cant wait to further get to know the little fella. I love my newest child.

Redfooted tortoise, "well started hatchling"
was able to see when my hatchling was shipped, and was able to easily track it all the way to me accurately. It was very cold here in Kansas and some how during shipping it wound up, upside down when i opened the box. How long it had been like that during the 2 days of shipping I don't know. Also the heating packs in the box had long since gone cold, and considering the freezing temps here, it was very very cold in the box and he was very cold to the touch. Immediately snuggled him under a blanket, on a heating pad. after just a few minutes my hatchling warmed up, crawled right out like he wasn't nervous or stressed at all, and started looking around and exploring. Called customer service, the lady was very pleasant and knowledgeable. She notated the delivery conditions on my account. She told me what to watch for health wise for the next few days and reassured me they would take care of it if my hatchling got sick or worse because of the situation. my hatchling never got sick thankfully. had it 4 months now, me and my wife are loving the experience. I take it out every night to have a snack and explore. Its very curious loves to climb and explore for as long as possible. When it gets tired and ready to sleep, it almost immediately decided that my wife's chest under a blanket is where it wants to be regardless of what she wants lol.
