Ben,
The second care sheet mentioned dwarf red-foots that stay around 6"-8". I've heard about dwarfs. What I'd like to know is whether it is likely that the female I have is actually a dwarf red-foot. She's had proper care for the entire time I've had her, she checks out fine on every vet check, she's healthy and active. But she is no where near the size I'd expect a red-footed tortoise to be after owning her for so many years.
So, it's got me wondering...
Thanks,
Karen
