I am a little worried about a leopard i have and i wondered if anyone had any help or advice for me.
I recently bought 2 leopard tortoises from someone and they are both about 3 years old. I now have 3 about the same age. The one i had to start with and one of the other ones eats fine, straight away and as soon as you put any food into their enclosure. But one of the ones i have isnt eating at all. I dont know if its the food we are feeding her, the move or something else but i could do with some help. We have been feeding the tortoises grass, dandilion leaves, multileaf apollo lettuce, red batavia, lambs lettuce, wild rocket, fruit but only as a treat and brussel sprout leaves. Is this diet ok or are we going wrong. My original tortoise is doing just fine and is healthy and growing at a good rate and the other one seems to like what we feed it aswell so i am stuck as to why this tortoise wont eat. I have seperated it from the other two at the moment to see if this helps things but i have put some food in for it again and it just seems to ignore it.
We have seen it try to eat something once, it went over to the food, sniffed it like they do, had a bite and walked off as if it wasnt interested in what it had.
There seems to be nothing wrong with it, it is healthy enough looking and has obviously been eating before.
Please help me if you can with some diet tips or anything else you can add. Your help would be great i look forward to hearing from you all.
