Captive-Bred Tortoises in the Philippines Nothing beats tortoises that are bred locally because they are usually healthier than imports. Imported tortoises may go through a lot of stress and are exposed to different kinds of bacteria, parasites or infectious diseases along the way. Most of them will be sold as captive-bred (CB) but may actually be coming from unethical sources, or worse, they may be poached illegally from their native country. It happens more than you think. Even with the correct care, some of them may already have problems way before you get them. Whereas with locally bred tortoises, there is a high chance that you will have a lifetime companion if the correct care is given.
Available CB TortoisesNote that we have a DENR Wildlife Farm Permit (WFP) so we can keep, breed, and sell tortoises as well. Because of this WFP, we are able to provide a DENR-recognized OR (official receipt) to prove that the tortoise you purchase is legal. This will also enable you to register your tortoise in the DENR-NCR office at East Ave. Just bring the tortoise, the OR, and ID pictures.
Diet:This tortoise is naturally a browser, and will wander about munching on broadleaf plants and fallen fruit the majority of its natural life. They are known to eat meat in the wild, seen eating dead animals, worms and snails. In captivity, redfoot tortoises will eat almost anything well, such as leafy weeds and clover (dandelions are a favorite), fruit, vegetables and they love Mazuri tortoise diet.
Adult Behavior: Adult redfoot tortoises are interactive and curious tortoises. They are usually unaggressive towards eachother and can usually be kept long term in mixed-sex groups. They are not damaging to their environment, rarely digging holes or burrows. Most redfoots will eagerly come to their keepers looking for food once they are comfortable in their environments.
