great looking leopards viv so happy for you. those are relations of mine arent they???? im sure you told me b4.

Yes Carl, they are sisters/brothers of yours, given their age range some might even be from same clutch as yours!!

First time they have ever been outside yesterday and today, they were so wary at first, after couple of hours they were bombing up and down the run absolutely loving the sun on their backs!!!

How are yours now, especially the one with soft spot on underside, one of mine has one, and the one with the eye problem?

They look good Vee but you mentioned a soft spot which one has it this maybe due to a calcium -vit,min defficency .
You mentioned in one post you didn't know i kept leopards well no i don't anymore they are too time consuming for me Vee
and grow far to big but i have taken in and still do help out with leopards that need rehoming or are sickly we get them right then rehome ususally.

Hi, thanks for all your comments.

Darren, I have wrote another post asking for info on Vitamin A deficiency wondered how best to give them a boost with vit A. I have a vet appointment tonight going to ask for some baytril for the soft spot and also a couple of bubbles (rns) on the one with the spft spot and the smallest one. I think this could be due to how they were kept and the stress of moving. Should I ask the vet to give each of them a vit A jab. Also I have put them outside last two days should I carry on doing that or leave them inside?

Grateful for your advice Vivienne

Hi Viv,

I've heard that Vitamin A injections can be very dangerous for torts. Here's a link to an article:
