What do you feed your leopards?

Mine love grass, zoomed grassland food, cactus, and sometimes mazuri.

I've tried other greens, broadleaf weeds that my Hermann's tortoises love, but the leopards turn up their nose.

Any suggestions to vary the diet?

Thanks!

Feed the weeds chopping and mixing it in with the stuff they like. Spritz with water. They have to eat the weeds to eat the other stuff

Mine like broadleaf and narrowleaf plantain, grape leaves, sometimes mulberry leaves, hibiscus flowers and leaves, opuntia, aloe, jade, spider plant now and then, dandelion flowers and leaves, hens and chicks, geranium leaves and flowers, hostas, african violet leaves and flowers, and I usually mix in a small amount of escarole, endive, or radicchio lettuce to encourage them to eat all their food.

Oh and I grow a lot of seed mixes meant for Leopards and feed them the sprouts once they get a few inches tall.
