Welcome to Torts R Us

We are dedicated to raising awareness, educating the public, and providing a permanent sanctuary for Redfoot Tortoises in need. Many of these tortoises are abandoned, mistreated, or neglected because owners don’t fully understand the lifelong commitment involved. Each tortoise receives a thorough veterinary check, including an X-ray (to check for ingested rocks or eggs in females), a respiratory panel, and a fecal test for parasites. They then receive the medicines and care needed to heal. Native to the tropical forests of northern South America, Redfoot tortoises can live for over 50 years in captivity. They require specialized care, including proper lighting, heating, humidity, and a balanced diet. Without these conditions, they are vulnerable to serious health issues like shell deformities and respiratory infections. Our sanctuary provides a safe, supportive environment where these tortoises can rehabilitate and live out their natural lifespan in peace.
