New To Torts!

[DocNezzy]

I just bought 2 leopard hatchlings. I have been wanting a tortoise for years. Finally! I have been researching but still have some questions. I can't wait to learn from everybody's experiences. I currently live in southern California, but soon I am moving to Naples Italy for 3 years!

Hi DocNezzy:

Welcome to the forum.

 

[moswen]

wonderful to have you and jealous of your future residence! super cute babies!! what questions do you have?

Hello and welcome. I love leopards too. Are they coming to Naples with you.

 

[DocNezzy]

They were poorly taken care of. One has a pretty soft shell. Should I be giving it more calcium/D3 powder? Will they recover if I just start taking care of them correctly? How often should I use Ca/D3? How often vitamin supplement? I also have no idea what age they are. They are both 26.7g, 46mm long, and 43mm wide. Thanks!

They are going to Naples with me. Besides a SITES permit, what do I need to be able to take them? Any pointers to make the move easier on them would be helpful!

Did you get them from a breeder? I to am in SoCal (San Diego) and am in the market for a leopard. Are you being stationed in Naples?
