I've had my little Oogway for a little over a week now and he seems to love eating things like broccoli, dandelion leafs and he loves to graze on the grass in the garden. I was wondering if anyone had any more ideas for feeding? What does you Leo eat? Anything I should defiantly not let him eat? Also someone was asking for more pictures so here is one I took over the weekend ImageUploadedByTortForum1373878225.279669.jpg

Not had mine long either but she loves plantain, rose petals, dandelion leaves, daisies, buttercups.... I also give her a little chopped hay and some fresh grass in her house...she only goes out for a short period each day and would rather race around the garden than stop and graze :)

You're lucky you can get your Leo to eat grass. All my torts ever want is hibiscus leave and flowers (it's their favorite). Also they do go crazy over kale and prickly pear cactus.

Also, try not to feed too many vegetables, and VERY rarely fruit as this can mess with gut flora. They should live off a diet of weeds, grasses, flowers, and plants.

Cute Leo. Have you read Toms threads on raising a smooth, healthy leopard? They are at the bottom of my post. They one for raising a sulcata is the same. Your Leo looks to have some very slight pyramiding started, get hims housed with some humidity and soaking and new growth will start to grow smooth. It also could just be the angle of the pic that makes it look like some pyramiding.
