Default leopard acting odd

All day yesterday my leopard didn't move, she stayed in the cool end, last night I decided to keep her light on.

Today she has been the same, I actually thought she had died till she moved her legs.

I've just gotten her out and she sucked her head in really fast and made that hissing noise from air escaping, she stayed in her shell the whole time I gave her a bath and kept hissing every time I touched her.

I have put her under the heat lamp but she's still the same, hiding in her shell.

She has never been like this before, she looks ok apart from hiding and not wanting to move.

Anyone know what might be wrong?


I don't want to take her to the vets yet and put her through loads of stress as she doesn't cope to well with car journeys.


My sister thought she might be gravid but I thought they got loads of energy when they are?

Well after an hour I finally got her to stick her head out her shell and she's now eating.

Awe glad she's been eating. I think they do these things to make us worry. Let us know how she is tomorrow

She's fine today, I think her spending all day in the cool end made her too cold.
