Hi Johnathon:

Your new little leopard is so cute. Have you read this thread:

http://tortoiseforum.org/Thread-How-To-Raise-Sulcata-Hatchlings-and-Babies

Its about sulcatas, but holds true for leopards too.

Thanks everyone,

@ emysemys- Thanks for the link, I've done a ton of ready but that is a great thread.

I bought the little guy from a woman that said she had him for 6 months, his weight is 53g right now, I think it's a little low but he's active and eating (not lots, but a few bites here and there) hopefully I can get his weight up soon.

---btw, I know it's too early to tell if he's male or female but I like referring to him as a "he" instead of an "it"---

When I've had small ones like that that are "stalled" in the growth department, I crank up the hydration and start feeding Mazuri 2 or 3 times a week. For hydration I soak them once or twice a day, spray their food just before they eat it, and spray their shells several times a day. I've seen it work wonders.

Thanks Tom,

I've got lots of mazuri so I'll try that, and I've been spraying him quite often so i'll keep that up.

Thanks again.
