Awww, thanks! It is probably because I have been trying to follow your care sheet ☺️ I got her (him) when they were a year and a bit and starting to pyramid a bit. And also it was you and others here who recommended me to split them. Lilly has improved so much since then (I think it was...

Thank you. No she (he) has not had any injections. She had worn count done a few months ago and she was treated for pin worms. I have another worm-count kit which I will be sending off in next couple of days. I give her a bath every day or every other day at least. So I worry maybe the water...

Hello, I wanted to ask if the peeling skin is shedding, or some skin problem? Also do you think new growth is coming out smooth? I have had Lilly for some 9 months. Originally in a pair, but she was not doing well so I rehomed the other one and Lilly has been doing much better since. But what...

Thank you ?

Hi there, I have two questions about worming! My tortoise Lilly was diagnosed with high Pinworm count (I sent a sample to be analysed). Vet gave her Panacur 6 days ago. I still have lot seen any worms coming out in her poop? The vet said to take another sample 10 days post dose to see if...

Lovely, thank you so much for taking the time to share all this info and experience! I will buy it and try it, food grade :-) Thanks ??

Hi, I heard some people use food grade Diatomaceous Earth for their tortoises. What exactly is it supposed to do? Is it used around the enclosure to get rid of flies or something? Or is it added into food to help against worms? Is it safe? Is there anyone in here who uses it who would be willing...

Hi, Thank you so much for sharing your insight. I am still not sure, they seem completely oblivious. They do usually sleep together, but don’t seem to pay any attention to each other... it is strange! I feed them separately after daily soak. They love mazuri and grassland pellets and obviously...

Oh ? Ok! Thanks!

They are together, they have apparently always been together. They seem to be friendly and get on well. No stealing food or anything.

Hi, I have been reading through posts and your wonderful care sheets. I have re-homed 2 Leopard juveniles. They should be around 18-19 months old now. Harris is bigger, weighs some 430 g now. He had 400 when I got him 3 weeks ago. He is eating and active, but I can see pyramiding. Lilly is...

Thanks, I know ? eventually they will have either two big ones or a whole spare room turned into a tortoise room (for the winter). I know they will end up huge... It is probably why the lady was giving them away already... But for the next couple of years we are thinking maybe a 6ft x 3 ft home...

Thank you! Much appreciated ??

Hi, I am very interested in this, thank you for the super summary! Fluorescent tube high output - something like this? It costs just £4 or so...? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001WQ2UZ4/?tag= So the T8 tubes from pet stores are no good? it really is a minefield! Thanks!! Marie

Hi there, I am a newbie to Leopards, I have 2 who are 12-18 months old from a lady who could not have them anymore. They are 200g and 400g and have always lived together. I want to improve their enclosure. Would this 6ft Vivarium work for a bit for them...
