🥬 Diet & Feeding Routine
Grenada Redfoots, like all carbonarius tortoises, are opportunistic omnivores in the wild. In captivity, this means a well-balanced diet packed with greens, fruits, and a touch of protein.
Sample Diet Plan:
-
Daily Greens: Dandelion, collards, hibiscus leaves, mulberry, cactus pad
-
Fruits (2–3x/week): Banana, mango, papaya, watermelon
-
Protein (1x/week): Boiled egg, pinky mouse, or earthworms
-
Calcium Supplement: Light dusting every other day
🧠 Pro Tip: Adding edible flowers like hibiscus or nasturtium amps up nutrition and natural enrichment.
🏝️ Habitat Setup – Keeping It Tropical
The Grenada Island Redfoot thrives in a humid, forest-like setup. Whether you’re going with an indoor enclosure or a protected outdoor space, the environment needs to mimic their island roots.
Indoor Enclosure (Juveniles & Adults):
Element Recommendation Size 4×2 ft for juveniles, 6×3 ft for adults Substrate Organic topsoil + cypress mulch mix Humidity 70–80% — Mist daily, add moss hides Temps 80–85°F ambient, 90°F basking zone Lighting 10.0 UVB bulb + ceramic heat emitter (12 hrs/day) Water Dish Shallow and wide — cleaned daily Outdoor Housing (Warm Climates Only):
If you live somewhere like SoCal, Florida, or Georgia, outdoor time is golden. Just secure the area — tortoises are surprisingly good climbers and escape artists.
🧠 Behavior & Temperament
These tortoises are gentle, smart, and curious. They don’t just hide in a shell all day — they’ll come to you when it’s feeding time, push around food dishes, and even learn your voice.
Grenada Island Redfoots are especially docile and social, making them awesome for family settings, hobbyists, and even educational programs.
Unlike sulcatas, they don’t bulldoze your yard or get aggressive during breeding season. These guys are island-vibing 24/7.
🧼 Health & Care Tips
Cherry-picked for quality and long-term health, our tortoises are raised under ideal humidity, UVB, and feeding routines. But here’s what you’ll need to keep on top of:
-
Hydration: Soak hatchlings 3–4x per week, adults 1–2x
-
Humidity Maintenance: Keep moss wet, mist substrate daily
-
Watch for: Soft shell (hydration issue), noisy breathing (humidity/temps), or poor appetite (diet imbalance)
