Thank you! Yes, some are related. 3 came from the exact same clutch. A couple others share a father and then a couple are not related at all.

I re read your care sheet and found my answer. Thanks

I just got her about 3 weeks ago @Tom. I thought outdoors was best for a tortoise?? I have her outside on days that I'm home which is about 4 days a week and only while the Sun is hot enough then I bring her back inside. How much time outside would you recommend?? and at what age do you...

Hi I have a 4 month old leo who is doing very well! I keep her outside during the day ( I'm in Utah). I am concerned that the dry heat here is going to be bad for her health/shell?? At night I bring her inside and house her in a closed top aquarium that is approx. 50% Humidity. Her shell right...

Okay, thanks all!

Does anyone know if bottled water needs to be used for soaking and drinking??

be careful with Calcium injections at the vet. Make sure your vet knows the proper dosing for such a small baby. My baby died moments after getting a calcium injection and the vet was an exotic vet x 20 yrs! hope your baby pulls through for you!

I just had my last baby leo go through this same process... Everyone on here was as helpful as possible. Once their shells are soft it is hard to reverse regardless of the expert advice and perfect care you give. I was told on here that my baby suffered from early dehydration due to her being...

I just purchased a leopard tortoise from@jtrux who I found here on the forum! I posted a review about him on the vendor review forum:) She's perfect!

I just purchased a leopard tortoise from @jtrux who I found here on the forum! I highly recommend him to anyone wanting a well started leopard hatchling. I have owned 5 torts 3 of which I have purchased as babies and this baby is by far the healthiest baby I've purchased! My baby arrived and...

I'm a newbie as well. I found @Tom thread to be so helpful! He nicely compiles everything you need to know! I hope he doesn't mind that I shared his link. http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/how-to-raise-a-healthy-sulcata-or-leopard-version-2-0.79895/

I was wondering how long a tortoise should be kept at 80% humidity... What age do you drop it down, or do you???

@maggie3fan . Who do I talk to about a vet on the Utah vet list???

@maggie3fan I didn't tell the vet. I don't think I want another tortoise right now. Definitely not another hatching... Just a bummer deal all around.

@lovebugaphid I just took my baby to the vet today for a calcium injection and she died within hours of getting it. I don't know if she was to weak to handle it but I just wanted to warn you.... I hope your baby makes it.

My sweet baby penny went to tortoise heaven today after taking her to the Vet. So strange. She was actually starting to look a bit better. The vet gave her a calcium injection and within hours she died. Is this normal?? I am so so upset but so relieved that she is not hurting... I'm going to...

@Yvonne G, can I ask how many times a day should I give her a calcium soak???I just bought some liquid calcium and critical care food supplement to try and syringe feed her...

Thanks for the info @AustinASU
