Hi all,
I don’t know what I was thinking but today I let my neighbour's granddaughter hold my ~2 year old leopard and she dropped him. Its totally my fault, she’s only 5 and I really should have known better. He was about at her waist height, and as I said she’s 5 so I doubt it was more than two feet. He fell right onto the grass on his tummy and was tucked in so I’m not worried about broken arms or legs. He’s eating fine and acting normal, but I’m so, so worried about him and I feel AWFUL. There are no cracks, scratches, or anything like that. What are everyone’s thoughts? My girlfriend thinks I’m being silly, but I’m so protective of him. Thank you in advance, and please learn from my careless mistake: don’t let kids hold your tortoise!
