Hi babies can go out just the same as adults & I would have said whith the current lovely weather weve been having he will be fine. A largish cage will be OK, with a sheltered area, so he can regulate his temperature (make sure you drill some holes in the base incase it rains, to prevent flooding).
I was once told that if its warm enough for us to be comfortable in a T shirt, its warm enough for torts to be outside. |

Outside in summer would be ok at any age, as long as you don't lose him.

We have 3 little Leos that are growing very slowly and others that are in a growth spurt and seem bigger each time we look at them.

Hi Laura,
With the current weather I would urge you to take Ludo outside bless him.......not only will the fresh air do him good you could get him grazing early and that would be a real bonus |

Nah weather like this is perfecto for them.....to be honest Leopards will just head towards shelter if their not happy so you would pick up on the signals (Well Ralph does)
