redfoot Qs

[niamherrity]

Hi lourhys, I know how expensive they are i to got roped into buying one by a petshop. Don't feel bad about it it's not your fault. I really think they are better out of the viv. The garage is a good place for them you might have to get a heater on a thermostat to keep up the temp as the garage may get to cold. You are going to have to make something for them anyway as redfoots can get very large. I don't know a lot about them. I'm still learning

You will need to insulate your garage also.

weeds are needed for your reds

try for 70% weeds 25% fruit 5% protein boiled chicken or mushroom or rehydrated low fat cat pellets all supplemented

plantain which comes in 2 types is a lovely fibrous weed and has been avaiable all through the winter
