So I recently renovated my leopard's enclosure into a closed chamber mid day yesterday. I left food out for him last night and replaced it today. However he is not eating much. He might be nibbling at it but I cannot tell.
I am also trying to increase the diversity of the items I feed him. He was raised on mazuri pellets from the breeder and for the most part has been reluctant to try new foods. "He" is 3.5 inches or so as well.
My question is would the lack of eating full meals be due to the stress of the renovated enclosure, addition of high humidity, and more diverse food selection?
Is there anything I can do aside from waiting to get him to eat? I am new to the tortoise world as I only keep a small spider tort and a leopard an have so for a few months. I just worry about the little leopard not eating but I assume as with most Chelonia they can go for a while with out eating. Any advice would be lovely. Thanks!
