Thanks!

Hello and Welcome:) Please read the last thread at the bottom of my post, by my signature. They are Toms and it is the best and correct way to raise your leopard. As for food, spring mix, kale, mustard greens, endive, hibiscus, dandelion, opituna cactus, Mazuri tortoise chow, clover, mulberry leaves, to get you started. You can also look of the tortoisetable.org for more edible items

Hi Hannah, and welcome to the Forum!!

I must say, I'm very impressed by your vet! You've come to the right place to learn how to care for your new baby.

Hannah it sounds like you have cool parents! After reading up on your new little guys care, try to include your dad in the process and I bet he would love to help you build an awesome enclosure. Welcome!
