Hello everyone! My name is Desiré and I am new to TortoiseForum. I have been lurking here and reading about all that I can about leopard tortoises. I have a one year and three months old leopard tortoise, her name is Rosie. We live in South Africa. I am very excited to be here and very excited to have people to interact with who also love tortoises. I have never had a tortoise before, and I agreed to become Rosie's momma after she desperately needed a home. Her previous owners kept her under very poor conditions and did not feed her often. As a result, she is a bit small for her age, but let me tell you, she is a fighter. She is strong and curious and adapted very quickly. I am learning as I go and I've built her an enclosure, I am also in the process of growing her food. I am trying my best to get her on a good diet so that she can be healthier and start growing more. Very happy to be here. ?
