Wow l am Korean who wants to have leopard tortoise. I am very surprised that your tortoise's pattern is so beautiful 😍 . And... I'm not good at speaking English but I like your video. Have a nice day~^^
Omg! So glad I found you. My son was given this turtle and we’ve been trying to figure out how to properly care for him (or her) ever since 😬 it’s been a bit of a struggle but you’ve helped clear up a lot! So apparently we need another light and possibly a larger enclosure.
I use to feed my spur thigh tortoise- tomatoes/lettuce/cucumber. and occasionally chicken and liver pate. They will actually eat some meat products and it doesn't seem to be bad for them. Eventually my tortoise was given to a tortoise sanctuary so he could mate.
Thanks for posting! I am in the same area and was hoping I picked a good species for our climate, seems like it was a good choice. I was leaning towards a Redfoot but I read they like humidity and tropical environments, something we don't have in Sac.
Hey that's exactly my situation! I was at the reptile shop and I was torn between the Redfoot and the Leopard and I settled on the Leopard because of the hot Sac valley summers
Hi! I have a baby (~4.5 months old) leopard tortoise which I got about a week ago. She was loath to eat at all for the first few days (which I gather can be normal for tortoises when they change homes). Now she seems fine with the idea of eating but... she just doesn't seem very good at it. She can't "bite" off pieces of her greens. I've seen tortoises tear pieces off and she tries to do that too but she doesn't have a strong enough jaw grip, seemingly. I've started cutting her greens into extremely tiny pieces to see if she can consume them more easily, but I'm wondering what my expectations should be here and whether there are any alternatives to make it easy on her while she's young until her jaw strength improves? In short, is it normal for baby tortoises to not be able to bite off chunks of their food easily and is there anything wrong with them just gnawing on it for a while instead of being able to just down their piles of greens? Thanks for any insight!
Hi Scott. Congrats on your new leopard tortoise! I have not experienced this personally and I don’t know of anyone who has. Does she use her front feet to try to tear the food off? Frankie usually uses his front feet to break off the piece of food he wants. I think as long as she can eat, it doesn’t really matter how long it takes or how she does it. But if this is causing her to not eat or be able to eat and leave most of her food behind I would take her to the vet right away. Best wishes!
I got him from California reef co. in Newark, CA. Are you in California? I follow a breeder that is based in Stockton. I can tag you in his Instagram if you have one. He usually has leopard tortoises
Yes one is best! In the wild they prefer to be alone and only come together during mating season. Otherwise there will be aggressive towards each other. And not he had never bitten me ☺️ but if I’m hand feeding him he might accidentally bite me if I don’t move my fingers fast enough lol
Love the way you care for your Leopard tortoise. You are an amazing owner
Thank you so much for you kind comment 💕
Spraying the grass was a good tip, and helps the calcium/vitamins stick! 👍👍
I agree. It does help 😊

Thank you so much for watching. Your English is great!
Frankie my leopard tortoise is a nice looking fellow 😆
Do you even have a garden to take proper care?
@@christinemrtz6637 do you have a garden?
Yes or no?
Never seen a Leopard tortoise before. Really cool shell colour design!
Leopard tortoises do have amazing patterns on their shells!
This was a great video and your leopard tortoise is beautiful!
Thank you so much! I can’t believe how much his shell has changed since I got him
nice set up!

Good job! I like the video
Thank you Robert! Means a lot
Love your setups
Thank you so much! I love doing the setups, especially outdoors
Beautiful tortoise. Mines smaller but looks similar. This is a great video.
Thank you so much!
His color is so pretty
Thank you!
Oh my god my tortoise pees on my hand whenever I'm just trying to show him love too..
Haha I heard it’s a defense mechanism 😬

Cool! I don’t really know much about spur tortoises
I just brought a baby leopard tortoise today and named him or her Frankie!
I love that! Baby tortoises are so cute ☺️
Awesome video and thanks for sharing 👀 💚 🐢
Thank you! Good luck with your baby leopard tortoise
I’m here!!!
Thank you for watching Nona ❣️

That is awesome! Let me know if you have any questions!

You guys made the right choice in my opinion. Best of luck to you both!

May I ask were did you get yours. I'm nervous to order one offline

CA Reef went out of business. Whats the IG for the Stockton breeder?
@@mellowmanmace4346 just saw this but the I think it’s @thetoroisedude
Do you pick the grass from outside or buy it?
I pick it from outside, usually my yard or any place I know hasn’t been sprayed with any chemicals 😊
I need info on a reputable breeder who will ship to Michigan and i want the same color or close to it
I have never personally purchase online but I would check out Kamp Kenan on RUclips I’m pretty sure he sells and I would trust buying from him.
Where did you get him from
California reef co. In Newark, Ca 😊
is it ok to just have 1? Does he ever bite you ?
Yes one is best! In the wild they prefer to be alone and only come together during mating season. Otherwise there will be aggressive towards each other.
And not he had never bitten me ☺️ but if I’m hand feeding him he might accidentally bite me if I don’t move my fingers fast enough lol
To bad you only keep 1. They are more happy with 2 ore more. Group animals.
I will have more tortoises one day
All these people who buy tortoises without a garden 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Lol
Not having a garden is animal cruelty
That’s your opinion. Thank you for all your comments on my video!
.Put down a lot of korean and world's stock. And then d'ont raise it up~~!! I's right~!! 🐢......
