Leopard tortoise

[David Harmon]

Hello all,

Today I welcomed a new little arrival after it hatched this morning, he/she weighs 11grams. few questions do I cut the food up really small for it to feed? and keep same temps and humidity as the older leopards? and is he ok to be bathed everyday? and finally will it be natural for him to sleep a lot?

Thanks in advance.

Adorable little guy. Hatchlings follow the same care guides. Daily soaks are good and hatchlings do sleep a lot.

Congrats. Closed chamber for hatchlings, temps no lower then 80 day and night, humidity 80% basking spot 95-100. Daily soaks for hatchlings.

Cheers for the advice was making sure I treat the hatchling like the adults, I currently have 3 more eggs waiting to hatch.
