What a relief for the pair of you !!!! Have you had a sample tested recently for any nasties - I get mine checked twice a year.
It is good to see he is on a weed/grass diet now - it does take a while for them to adjust - like us the things they enjoy are usually bad for you. I would use the cumcumber for a treat and cut out the strawberry altogether - fruit and Leopards dont normal do well. |

yeah I know strawberries are not that good for him but he only has one of them once in a great while and he loves them so I wont stop giving them to him all together that’s just mean! and i don’t give him any other fruit anyway. yeah i have him tested for nasty’s every time he goes to the vets you never know what pesky beasts lurk within!
He hates the vets he is normally so lively and doesn’t mind being handled and having his head stroked and stuffed but as soon as he gets into a vets he just shuts himself up lol not even cucumber will lure him out!

My Leopards don't go to the loo as regular as my other torts, but boy when they go, they go!!!!
Don't forget a leo needs lots of free grazing time as their diet should be around 70% grass. I plant up bags of top soil for winter with grasses, so that mine are never out of supply. |
