I'm new to the tortoise forum and new to owning a tortoise. I have already posted in other categories on this site. I was so anxious to find out about my new leopard tortoises I headed straight for the African tortoise thread, and skipped right past the introduction thread. I recently decided to become a tortoise owner. After doing a little reaserch I went to the pet store and purchased two 5 year old leopard tortoises. They couldn't tell me much about them except for the basic care and how old they were. The previous owner brought them in because they couldn't care for them anymore. I was told I had to buy both tortoises because they needed companions and they had already been together. I brought them home and soon noticed the slightly larger toirtoised would ram into and get on top of the smaller one. I found out they are both males and should not be kept together, thanks to the help of some people on this forum. I have an outdoor enclosure set up but could use some advice on what to add or take away. I Haven't planted any plants due to I'm not sure what is safe for them to eat. I live in southern Indiana, the wheather is starting to get in the low 60's at night so I also need to know what I could plant this late in the year. Thanks for the help.
