Hi
I recently purchased a Leopard tortoise.
I was wondering what supplementation I should use
I know he needs Calcium. Is cuttlebone sufficient? Or does he need additional
Also I saw Total Tortoise Nutrition on Carolina pet website. Would that be Ok to give ?
Thanks in advance. I’m new to all of this

Is it an adult or a hatchling?
Will it live indoors or outside?
Most tortoises get full nutrition from a well rounded and varied diet with help from sunshine or a supplemental UV source.
Most of us also provide cuttlebone.
Most keepers offer a calcium dust of some sort to very young tortoises.
I do not for my adults.
