I have a leo thats a little over a year old now... he does not seem to be very active... would adding another little guy perk him up? or will they fight for dominance?

Thanks
Matt

First of all, you would have to find another leopard close in size to your existing leopard, and then there's the quarantine period.

I always tell people that tortoises are not "herding" animals and they prefer being alone, only coming together to breed (or fight!), but sometimes, if you have a youngster that is not doing well, it might help to add another tortoise of the same kind and size. A little competition for the food usually makes them eat better.

But your tortoise is not lonely for his own kind. They usually don't like to have to share their food or share the best hiding place.
