I know this has been discussed over the years. We have moved to a new place. At the last place I saw a hawk land on the fence and just stare at one of my torts. I have three Leopard tortoises. One is about 11 inches, one about 7 inches and one about 6 inches. The hawk never came back after...
All three of my Leopards will only eat a variety of greens. They won't touch hibiscus , flowers, fig leaves or grass, weeds etc. Any idea how to get them to eat any of these things. Also do any of you give cape honeysuckle ?
Thank you
I've just discovered that one of the Leopard tortoises I've had for a couple months has a slightly overgrown beak on the bottom. The bottom is growing over the top. I can push the lower beak in with my fingers.
I am going to try to file or trim the lower beak but its very difficult. If I...
I have the opportunity to get two 4/5 inch leos. Is it an issue that there is already pyramiding at this size. Will it stop once they have proper food and care or will it continue to get worse ? One of them also has a split scute. Opinions, should I stay away from this or are these non...

I'm looking to get another leo to keep with my 7 1/2 inch male (bottom measurement) I believe he is older than his size indicates. I would prefer a female. What is the smallest that could be kept with one that size ?
I'm in AZ. Do any of you have any juvenile females available . If so...
My Leo around 8 inches that I have had a couple of months will not come out of his heated igloo area. He only eats every few days. Its been this way since the weather has cooled down. I'm in Arizona. He's had many changes before he came to live with me. Should I just relax and allow him to...

I'm looking to see if anyone in Arizona or willing to drive to Arizona is interested in trading a pretty female Sulcata around the size of a dinner plate for a leopard tortoise (something old enough to live outdoors and be brought in at night) My male leo is around 8 inches. I prefer female...
I got my new leo aproximately 2 weeks ago. He was not fed properly and has a lot of pyramiding other than that appears healthy. I don't think he was raised outdoors either. I was told he was given a lot of red foods such as strawberries etc. I would send pictures but have trouble posting...
I have had my new Leopard tortoise for around a week now. I have a Sulcata that is heavier but around the same size. They live in separate enclosures. When I was looking out the window today I saw my Leo start walking around and a hawk landed on the fence around his enclosure . I ran out and...
I wanted to get opinions and clarify what I need to do for both my leopard tortoise and sulcata for the fall and winter as far as heating goes.
They each have their own igloos. I really am not handy and can't drill a hole in the middle of the igloo for heating elements. Is there an easier...
I have the opportunity to trade my three babies for an older male . He has a lot of pyramiding. For those of you that are more experienced with this is that a big concern with leopards. I know it tends to be more of an issue with leopards than some of the other tortoises. I'm looking to...
Does anyone know of good plants (pretty hardy) to put in my baby outside enclosure that are safe. Its Arizona high heat. I'm looking for low growing plants.
I was wondering if the UVB light is too high if that could create soft shells. I'm just searching for why this could possibly happen. I had the light around 18 " and I've now lowered it to around 12 inches. Would this impact the shells at all ? They haven't been outside for around a week but...
I have four leopard babies. I've had them for around 4 months I was told at that time two are around 3 months and two around 5 months. They just look so little to me for their ages. That would make them around 5 or 7 months old now. I have had leopard babies years ago and raised them...
I have 4 young leopard babies that are aprox 4-5 months old. The breeder let them hatch naturally outdoors. I'm in Arizona. Does anyone know what the aprox male or female ration might be of hatchlings born naturally ?
