Thank you for your support. I am in Connecticut, by the way, so we share the harsh winters.

Your babies look adorable! I can tell you adore those animals.

My personal advise for anyone not being able to provide a freer, much more natural environment and diet for these animals is to please select another pet. Keeping a red footed tortie under artificial lights, eating cat food, and other unnatural conditions is more detrimental than they can handle and deserve. If your tortie is not spunky, active, with a smooth shell and bright eyes, the care provided is inadequate.

I'll post a pic of my Suki as soon as I can!

Wanda
