New to the Fourms :]

[Pikalulz]

Hello!
Im new to these fourms.
We To start off, I have a Cherryhead Redfoot, 6 Months old!

I Feed him Romaine, Apples, Grapes, oranges, pineapple, Bananas. I try to avoid Certain Citrus.

When it comes to his shell Whats the best way to take care of it?
I already give him Supplements of Calcium and Vitamins D.

I give him a bath in about an inch of warm water every few days.

He has a hiding Spot A box with a Towel over it Just so the Box Doesn't look so obvious


Is there any special treats to give him every now and then? Best way to keep the shell Clean and Healthy?.

I'm building a Tortise pen in my Room. Im 19 and live with my parents still

I plan on building it will just plain wood. Big enough for him not to get out and plenty of room to explore.

Anyone know of a site to show how to build a efficent one?

Hi and welcome to Monsterfishkeepers. So do you have any pics of your Red Foot? I'd love to see some.

Welcome.
As far as diet, you can skip the romaine and instead feed things like collard greens, kale, mustard greens and others

are prickly pear cactus paddles , geraniums or grass high in phospherous because my tortoise has all her supps and uvb lights and heat but her shell is soft shes 40 grams so she is still young ... so is her shell soft because shes young or because high phospherous intake?
