I have two little Leapords that normally are fine, but I'm a little concerned. One of them I purchased last summer (rescue) with soft shell made a come back. They have proper lighting with a heating spot of 90-93. I noticed the sleeping area was getting cooler at night so the other day I put a heating pad under that part of the enclosure, so it brought it up to the mid 70's.
I know they don't hibernate, but is it normal that they are less active now? I live in MI so the general environment is getting colder.
My other concern is maybe they are experiencing D3 toxicity because I wanted to boost the immune system of the rescue (Simon), so I was giving them calcium every day. As far as diet goes, they get a variety of greens with Mazuri and a bath twice a week.
Any help or wisdom would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Michael
