Well, I increased the temps, cut out the D3, starting misting more and changed the substrate (coco fiber) and sure enough they were more active. Thank you so much for all your help. This is by far the most friendly, helpful forum I have ever been on, thank you!

Thank you all your suggestions and advice. I have been using Repcal with D3. I will get a calcium without D3, mist and soak more often and they should bounce back to normal. To answer a few questions, they are 3.5 and 4" long, not sure about weight, I'll have to get a scale. The substrate is...

I have two little Leapords that normally are fine, but I'm a little concerned. One of them I purchased last summer (rescue) with soft shell made a come back. They have proper lighting with a heating spot of 90-93. I noticed the sleeping area was getting cooler at night so the other day I put...

I often hear of shells being lopsided and from what I know babies sometimes have soft shells. The key is proper nutrition. If you know that he is getting a variety of greens etc. and the right supplements, lighting and such the shell will harden and he/she will be healthy.

Mine are older, ie. six months plus and they do it everyday. I'm sure he/she will grow up big and strong.

I'm glad you liked it, I do a little bit of everything. Hmmm, creative people/animal lovers, fairly common I believe... I just have the two for now, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the future holds more of them for me. Scene fades, I have a small tortoise farm. I'm sure other people...

You're welcome and thank you. You must have checked out my website, hope you liked it! Here's my new guy I just got... The darker one is Dozer, the blond is the rescue, he's doing better already.

Hello and welcome! I also am addicted to Leapords. I got my first one a few months back and got another (kind of a rescue) this past weekend. This forum is full of great people and tons of info, enjoy. Michael

ive kept leos for 23 yrs ,i suspect a protozoan infestation take a fecal sample to your vet asap , its the soft shell that points to this...ed Thank you Oswego and Tom, As soon as he defecates I will take him to the vet and have it checked out and then post results. Two of the foods...

Thank you to both of you, much appreciated! I will soak him every day until he improves. He hasn't defecated and I know that he was getting a less than adequate diet on an irregular basis. Like I said before, as long as he is sleeping, drinking and eating, I think he will make a comeback...

I've been looking for another Leapord for a while now. Yesterday, I went to a reptile show here in MI and found a gorgeous blond. In a way, he is an expensive rescue and here is why. As many of you can relate, I couldn't just leave him there with the vendor. I asked him what he's been...

Found them both on Kingsnake. Thanks again for the referral. Michael

Thank you Christy, much appreciated! Do they advertise elsewhere or should I pm them here via the members list?

Could anyone point me in the right direction for Leapord Tortoises? I have one (Dozer) which is about six months old. I'm looking to get another one approximately the same size/age. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Michael

Thank you everyone, good to be here! Time to some more research...

So what do we do when we love our pets and want to learn more, we geek out on forums. This is exactly why I am here. I got a leapord tortoise a few months ago, he is about six months old and I love him!!! I have always loved the Leapords and the Sulcatas, but based on my situation, I...
