I've not tried my Iguana on it, let alone a red foot.
However, from the ingredients, doesnt look too bad! (unless I'm missing something) And he certainly appeared to enjoy it (but what dont they enjoy?!)

Zoomed does put a good deal of research into their products but I wouldn't use that particular product on a tortoise although I don't see how it would be bad.

Actually not a bad looking list. Even though it is fruit... it is dried fruit.
My concern is expence but the product looks good. Quote:

Don't keep Redfoot's but they are very nice, i know if i did i would feed a Tortoise diet pellet. A previous member who had to sell up her group of breeding Redfoot's fed a pellet diet with fresh food's with good result's.
