Hey, i bought 2 red footed tortoises around the end of may. The male is almost "8 and the female is "6. I was wondering when the female should be ready to mate? Is the male ready to mate? If the male can mate now, what size of female do i need to get for them to breed?

Thanks,

Also any advice would help for along the line of Red footed tortoise breeding, im planning on buying 1 female soon ( depends what size i need ) so i can start breeding.
 
The Females should be at least 8" to 10"....6" is to small....I have a few Females that I may want to move....they are a little bigger....if you are interested pm me....if not...they are not difficult to find on the internet...
 
I agree female is too small. If you keep the female and male together..The male will let you know when he wants to breed. You will suddenly hear strange pig like grunts and he will be hard at work...seriously, you might want to keep them separate if you want to control the breeding until you think she is ready. If you breed to early, she might not be able to pass the egg. That can cause another problem.
