Hi everyone,
This post will be a tad long but please bear with me. So I've had 2 leopards (approximately 8cm) for almost three months. I think their eating habit is a bit weird, namely with the following conditions:
1. They eat roughly the same amount compared to my 6cm sulcata, I assume they would eat more (they are 3 times the mass of my sulcatas). (note: food amount, 1 piece of lettuce for both of them). Is this normal?
2. One of the leopards only likes pellets and will not eat any vegetables unless being coated with mushed pellets. Why is this the case?
3. Compared to my other tortoises (redfoot, forstens, and sulcatas) their appetite are not as revenues. Is this normal?
4. Compared to my other tortoises, the leopards seem to be very shy (will not approach and eat from my hand).
Note: they have all the required needs (water, UVB light, Basking light, hides)
Thanks, if anyone can shed a light on this matter I will greatly appreciate it.
