Leopards need a high fibre diet so plenty of grass. There are other discussions on this if you have a search

Yes a table, no fruit what so ever for leopards.

I have a large table with a combined heat / UV lamp that I bought from Dazzas shop, Leopards don't tolerate it damp or cold, they do like being outside on nice sunny warm days. They love high fibre grasses and weeds, I'm sure their diet should be
70% grasses and 30% weeds/wild flowers and other edible flowers and plants. I get my weed seeds from Sarah's Shelled Warriors shop on Ebay, http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Shelled-Warriors. My Leopards love all the seedlings that have grown from the seeds, not sure how many seedlings will get to mature to plants with the rate my guys eat them!

I have my leopards on hemp.... but with a mixture of oyster shell and some sand/soil mix too... variety.

I have my Leopards on aubiose as their substrate, they have a large tray of grass/turf, a tray of Graze-on, just to get them used to it, (so far they like just to sit in it!) a tray with different sized pebbles and their large water dish, they also have a large-ish slab of sandstone under the lamp which gets nice and warm, it does not get hot, they have a large 30cm x 30cm natural slate tile for their indoor meals of grass, weeds and flowers, but they do prefer to eat outside in the sunshine.

Hi!

I use hemp for my Leopards. I also sprinkle some Readi-grass over the hemp, under their hides. They like to lay on it mostly

but they do nibble at it too!
