I have two red-foot tortoises in need of new homes they come with everything they have they just aren't thriving with me I haven't seen any growth since i got them they were very sick when I got them from the aquarium and reptile depot with respiratory infection and infected with parasites they did get treatment from my wonderful exotic vet at the bird and pet clinic of Roseville they were given calcium shots vitamin shots to help them I'm just not seeing any growth idk if I'm doing something wrong they get fed a variety of fresh veggies chard dandelion green berries Romain lettuce fresh grass that I grow for them hay mixed with a couple of wet grassland pellets they refuse to eat bugs so I give other protein like hard boild eggs and shrimp I've even held food from the trying to get them to eat bugs nope they refused I don't know why I've tried dubia silk worms hornworms super worms crickets and other bugs I got from reptile expo so I'm hoping there is someone out there that will see this that is experienced and can help them all my other reptiles are thriving and growing but these two
