    Hello Kenan , I have rescued a red foot maybe 6-8 years of age today and I've noticed his eyes are weeping and I can hear him wheezing a bit and every now and again a cough , as well his beek / nose has split :( are these signs of low humidity and calcium ? My son and I watch you all the time and come to you for you solid advice .

    Here in Brazil we call redfoots 'Jabutitinga' and the cherryheads 'Jabutipiranga'.
    It is more common to find them near wild fruit trees, they actually are great seeds disperses. But they can't be found in cold-winter regions of Brazil. :(

    Hi Kenan. Don't know if you will see this or not, but I'm really interested in seeing how you built your heated house. I'm planning on leaving my red foots out this winter but they will need a heat box. Possibly, could you make a video describing how you made them? Size and all? I have 2:3 and I'm not sure how to go about building it. Any help would greatly be appreciated

She does not have swollen eyes and doesn’t have noes discharge but she is always in her hide she rarely comes out to eat so I move her in front of her food and then she eats away but she is always hiding. Pretty soon I am building a much better giant enclosure so please tell me if anything is wrong

    Maybe I should aim for red foods because of size. In California, Napa it gets hot and dry in the summer(and humid sometimes) and winter it gets really cold and rainy.. I also see raccoons, possums, and cats so I’m afraid of getting a small cherry head because it might get attacked.
