Can I ask if this is a captive bred Leopard hatchling because if so I would expect it is used to being handled. If not I would suggest daily bathing to help with hydration and to get it used to handling. I have kept both WC and CB Adults and the difference is incredible. Ask your vet how he feels about worming a large adult Leopard tortoise and you will get my drift here. Provided you have the temperature correct and the visual lighting is sufficient you should see activity fairly quickly.
