Our beloved Leopard tortoise hasn’t put on any weight in a good while. He eats a good, full diet of dandelion and other suitable wild leaves with a calcium top up yet has not surpassed 70g and is almost 6 months old. He looks healthy and vibrant. Does anyone have any experience/suggestions...

Can anyone recommend me a reasonably priced uvb and heat bulb for my tortoise? Thanks in advance
