New Sa Leopard !

[BILBO-03]

So I have a question I have read on the Aldabra section that @ALDABRAMAN how he feeds a all natural diet and I was wanting to try to do that in his outdoor enclosure so my question is are there any seeds or plants I could get for outside and inside to grow or maybe they sell them big already ? Anyway I was just wondering.

One thing to remember is his location and weather allows it year round. Aren't you in Ohio or somewhere cold out east?

Several plaices like tortoise supply sell various weed seeds.

yes I'm in Ohio. I've checked tortoise supply they have some nice stuff I was just wanting some bigger plants I can bring them inside in the winter.

 

[BILBO-03]

well just because he can't graze outside because it's cold he can graze inside

Hibiscus, a potted grape vine, or mulberry tree. Coastal Silkworms aka Mad for Rads sell some dwarf mulberry once in awhile.

There are so many things you can grow in 'off season' weather. It can be fun or challenging. Many good soils also get little nats, or the there is not enough light in the window and on.

Over a few winters you'll sort out what works well for your resources.

Thanks ! it sure does make you feel good

 

[Fredkas]

Yes. 10% for a week is a big gain. I very much agree.

 

[cmacusa3]

That's a good sign! He will get big quickly.
My 2 new ones that are almost 4 months have exploded in gains. One is 120 grams and the other is 92. Looking forward to watching this one grow!

 

[BILBO-03]
