No, I've lived in my house for 10 years, I don't use any herbicides or pesticides. So all the plants are clean and have being growing for at least couple years in my backyard.
I'll need to look for those saucers better, so far everything I found was too deep for them, they had difficulties to get in and out. Will check tomorrow in Lowes again.
One more question.
I have an ample supply of perennial ornamental peanut. I planted it in their outdoor enclosure where they stayed for the first week or so. They loved grazing on it, especially on it's flowers. Torts are not there any more because it's too bid and it doesn't have heater so...
I didn't notice any interactions between them, so far it's very peaceful. They don't really pay attention to each other. They don't even climb on each other much, noticed probably couple times and only when I soak them.
I'll buy reptile vit tomorrow.
Will start mixing ZooMed tomorrow. The big...
the dish is a plastic top from the plastic food storage box, it's she shallowest I can find. It doesn't seem to bother them to climb into it or walk inside. I guess, I can just cut and pile up the food higher so that they wouldn't eat it from the bottom of the dish. Before I would be spread...
about 10-12 inches, it's enough to keep the temp at 100 right under the lamp (again, it's warm here, the temp outside is about 80 daytime and 70 at night)
The bedding is dry under the lamp, the enclosure it tilted down from the lamp, so the substrate is moist to the touch but not soaked in the...
I appreciate your opinion. Do you think it's better for them? Like I said, I don't anticipate any lack of fresh food here, it's Florida. The hibiscus always has flowers and unlimited supply of leafs, plus cactus, grasses and so on... But if pellets are better, then I'll start offering more .
What about the pallets? I bough a zoomed grassland tortoise food and tried to feed them at the very beginning, but they totally ignored it. Are those better than spring mix? Should I try to push them? For now I have plenty of fresh food for them, but is the dry food more beneficial than the...
I tried to cut grass into very small pieces, but it seems like they have hard time to pick it from the dish, it's much easier for them to bite from the whole leaf.
But I'll try it again. I normally give them some weeds and grass from the backyard in the morning before going to work. I'm not...
No, I don't know the history, I bought them on the show and they all were the same price, the seller just told us that they are from different hatches, he didn't even mention that they might be different varieties ( i don't think he knew that much about leopards).
The UV I am using is the one...
Thanks everybody for answering. I was trying to give them grass as well as mulberry leaves, hibiscus flowers and leaves and so on. Those are too difficult for them to bite, they try to eat it, but without much success. As for flowers, they don't have any interest in it whatsoever.
Like I said...
I really need an advice. Over a month ago I bought 3 leopard tortoise hatchlings. All seemed healthy, but one of the tortoise's shell (his name is Smiley) was on the softer side comparing to other two. Over this month his shell has became softer, it feels like a soft thin plastic. It doesn't...
Thanks. I'm looking forward for him to become brave enough to eat worms during the feeding time so that they will not bury themselves before he eats it;)
