Hey there guys, So, obviously it's been a few weeks, we have made changes to his enclosure and overall he's seeming a lot healthier, his eyes look less sunken, his skin looks less dry, and his plastron has even hardened a bit. As well as this his egg tooth is now gone. However it is quite...

Hi, it's been a while since I've posted on this forum but recently my 4-year-old leopard tortoise escaped from his outdoor enclosure. He was last seen by a neighbor in their yard yesterday afternoon when he initially escaped but I have not been able to locate him since that appearance. My...

She's about 10 years old and has been inside till about a month ago. I feed her the tropical grass pellets 3 days then a bowl of mixed greens and back to 2 or 3 days of pellets. She's had a UV light off and on her whole life. I'm just wondering if I should be worried about her ridges. I can't...

Me and my brother bought a 6 month old 3 inch leopard tortoise a few days ago from a breeder. We are committed to looking after him, we have plans for his enclosure for years to come, and we have researched his needs and are following guidance from this forum, but I still find myself worrying...

Does anyone have good seed ideas I could start planting? I already have grass but my tort only seems to eat the Lil cloves off the grass and that’s it.... looking for some possible dandelion seed ? Or any other recommendations my baby leopard tortoise might eat that I can grow for him myself! :)

After months of consideration and a week of setting up the enclosure, my hatchling Leopard Tortoise has finally arrived, and I have given her the name of Miira! (I'm a writer and gave her the name of a character I love, I later learned what the name means in different languages!) She's been so...

Some questions and current products. I'm currently researching what sort of amendments I can make to encourage my hatchling Leo to eat the Mazuri pellets and the soft Fluker's diet. I soak the dry Mazuri pellets briefly, but not so long as to cause them to lose their shape. I sprinkle them into...

Hello! I made a post here a few weeks back about a Russian/Herrmans/Greek enclosure but between now and then I found the Leopard Tortoise and absolutely fell in love with its colors, personality, and above all it's size! Everything about it seems to be amazing, but before I move forward I do...

I recently purchased my baby Leopard Tortoise from a dry breeder who also did not know his age. (I will never make the same mistake again) I now have no idea the age of my lil guy or if he already has signs of pyramiding. I also have a scale coming in the mail so I can start tracking his weight...

Sorry I can’t figure out how to update my last thread to show you guys. I wanted an update on temperatures and how it’s looking now :) I’m going to be purchasing some bark to keep the coco fiber out of his water bowl and also buying 2 terra cotta planter bottoms. You guys have been so amazing to...

I just recently got a little leopard tortoise and I just recently found this forum as well and I have some questions about the enclosure and if anyone can give me some help or tips it would be greatly appreciated! First off I live in Arizona and plan on an outside enclosure once the little guy...

Hi, I have a 2 month old Leopard hatchling. Today while soaking him (or her), I noticed a bit of orange under only his left eye. Could this possibly be from the terracotta dish? It is also on the fold of his neck. His overall health has been good, very active, eats a lot, passes his food OK as...

EDIT: Pictures got mixed up while uploading, so they're not in order. I posted about my leapard tortoises weight awhile ago wanting to know if he looked healthy, and if it seemed like he was on the right track in his growth. I mainly just wanted to know since I got Victor (my leapard) from...

Orzo here, this is my life as a pie chart ?? What other things do you do during your busy tortie days? ??

Hi, So I am completely new to tortoises, having done plenty of research into them so far. I haven’t yet got my tortoise but I have decided that I want to get a pyramid tortoise when I do. I have also read lots of conflicting advice on the conditions and enclosures andfrom first reading they...

Hello! I have been interested in adding a tortoise to my family for the last year, after a lot of research I am ready! I’m interested in a Hermann or Leopard (hatchling-yearling) I prefer purchasing from an experienced and honest owner/breeder. Any in/near Michigan? I live in Grand Rapids but...
