    been about 36 hrs...leopard barely eating

    I've offered fresh grass and a mix of dark greens(mustard, collard, turnip). I've seen him take a bite of the greens turn and walk away. Didn't touch the grass. Next move is to try some zoomed tortoise food or something like that. Any ideas? How long should I wait before doing the baby food soak?

    How far above the basking spot should I have my thermometer? I'd say the enclosure is 18" high...I have it about half way down at 9". This sits about 6" above basking spot. Is this good? Or should I move it one way or the other? I also have one on the cool side about half way point. Should it be...
