Tay has given you good advice regarding cage size. Quote: what they eat
Leopard tortoises need a high fibre diet of 70% grasses and hay and 30% greens/ Quote: what they need in their cage
They need a shallow dish of water, a piece of slate to keep food of the substreate a substrate (the 70% soil and 30% playsand works best for leo’s), a hide, basking light, uvb bulb and pebbles and decorations to break the enclosure up. Quote: what’s the smallest size cage they can live in.
I would agree with Tay and say 3 foot long and 2 foot wide min. Quote: How big do they get.
Leopards can get up to 2 feet long and weigh a hundread pounds. However most are around15-18" and 30-50 pounds.Males are usually larger than females. Leopards are great torts they can be a bit shy but their patterns and colours on their shell are lovely. Anyway good luck if you decide to go for a leo. Hope this helps DD |
