Hello again everyone, My leopard tort, a few months old, has been doing pretty well in his environment that I made up for him. (Humid, lows of 70 highs of 110, lot's of food, small shallow water dish). But all of a sudden, he seems to be entirley burrying himself in the dry portions of his...

Hello again, everyone. I'm back with new concerns. My Leopard tort has been doing fairly well. He's active, he's eating and drinking, and he's even got into the habit of climbing on his artificial plant. However, when he's eating a number of things are happening. Firstly, his jaw seems to be...

Another small update: I took him outside for the first time today. We had great weather here in Ohio, USA. He was so active out there! He was moving all around and playing with the grass as it slid across his shell, occasionally grabbing a bite as he went. I will definitely be taking him outside...

You mean to tell me there are people who do not provide everything their little torts need?! That's atrocious. I certainly have upped the temps. Today, after I soaked him, I set him in my palm and I put a leaf from the spring mix between two fingers. He ate right out of my hand! It was the...

So after a day of trying out the new setup, I think things are going great! He has been out and about all day and he's been basking for most of it. After last checking on him, he had retreated to a cool part of the enclosure and started napping once he had found a suitable wet spot. I've been...

Thanks you for your response Greg T. There were plenty of things I was doing wrong. I had a coil UVB bulb, his substrate was bland and consistent throughout his home, and the humidity was way low. The temps were close but not high enough. Last night, while he was sleeping, I went to the store...

Will do! Thanks!

No worries. Does it seem to be a suitable environment for him? I'm getting the other substrates soon.

Oh, I did put that he was a baby in the topic but forgot to put it in the actual post. Here are some pics of him. And his table: http://i.imgur.com/FyGQq7s.jpg http://i.imgur.com/RsByfIY.jpg http://i.imgur.com/kHxRhhX.jpg http://i.imgur.com/KEDUv4W.jpg

Hello. I've just received a Leopard Tortoise three days ago. It's beautiful. But I'm concerned for it. It ha only eaten a few bites on the first day and I haven't seen it eat or drink anything. I know it's only three day, and I may be overreacting. But he just sits with his face in the corner...
