Did You deworm him/her?? Mine little one was heavily infested with protozoa and as a symptom has had a runny stool. That was the reason why he did not grow. If You did not do a fecal test let it be the first thing You check. All the best to Your little one

no i didn't check him because i figured he was clean because of the high reputation of the breeder. i will have to test him and thanks!
For protozoa You need to have poop sample not more then a day old
and keep it in room temp not in fridge.

Protozoa in small amounts are natural part of leopards intestine flora. For some reason and in certain conditions their population grows and causes inflammation of tortoise intestine e.g. diarrhoea, malnutrition and growth inhibition. I treat mine c.a. twice a year when I notice the symptoms. My Vet says it's just the way it is. All the best for Your shell
