When you can get your tort outside for sunshine, warm summer weather, you don't need the D3. When you do find the one you want, don't give too much. Too much is as bad as too little. A little pinch once or twice a month is all I give for my 3 year old leopard and adult Russian.

I am not that knowledgeable about Leopards, but due to the mainly cold weather here and you're keeping a tropical species, you are going to need to supplement a lot more than that.
Nutrobal used to be the preferred supplement, but now it is accepted that Nekton MSA is the best option. If you're Leopard is a large one, I would order a lot off Amazon, or if you only want a small quantity-Amazon's pricing structure is ridiculous-I can send you a bit at a much lower price than the equivalent on Amazon as I buy in the 2kg size.

She is 8 year old so quite large


I have also given her today a cuttlefish but she has so far turned her nose up at it
