I've been looking for another Leapord for a while now. Yesterday, I went to a reptile show here in MI and found a gorgeous blond. In a way, he is an expensive rescue and here is why.
As many of you can relate, I couldn't just leave him there with the vendor. I asked him what he's been eating and it didn't sound good at all for a leapord tortoise. My other little guy (Dozer) the darker one is strong as an ox for his size! He gets a variety of dark greens, clover, dandelion, mazuri, calcium with D3, soaked three times a week and proper lighting.
The blond has a soft shell (underside). The good news is that he is drinking and eating. I soaked him yesterday when I brought him home and again today. The three of us went outside for most of the morning, I gardened and they grazed. He has been sleeping alot when he's not eating. I really want him to pull through this and become as healthy as his brother/sister. If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it!!!
Thank you
Michael
ps. Although the blond is larger, Dozer is obviously heavier right now.
