Greetings everyone

Just purchased a hatching Leopard Tortoise for my youngest son about 6 weeks ago. He named it Meatloaf lol

We don't know too much about these things so I look forward to learning a lot from you guys and sharing it with my son so Meatloaf will continue to grow strong and healthy.

I'm currently working with a friend who builds kitchen cabinets to make us a custom enclosure that will suffice for years to come, any input including pictures would be highly appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the Forum!
I recommend you give these a good read and then ask us any questions you would like.

For dietary info, here are some great links.
The first one is meant for sulcatas but their diet needs are the same EXCEPT yours will not need the grasses.

Hello and welcome. You will need a large closed chamber.

Those links that BamBam provided will be a good start, but feel free to ask all your questions too. We are all here to talk tortoises.
