Hi,
I'm pretty sure they eat the same thing as sulcuttas do. They can have a small amount of lettuces, but they need mostly grazing ingrediants: Bermuda grass, fescu grass, blue stem, alfalfa grasses, dandelions, hibiscus leaves and flowers, prickly pear cactus pads, basically high fiber stuff - I'm sure you already know no fruits and no protien:) I think this is a pretty good web sight for leopards:

: Hey,
: Can anyone tell me some good food to get for leopard tortoise she is about a foot and a half long. I work at a petstore and a lady walked in one day with a her in a ten gallon tank and just dropped her at the door. I was the only one working there who knows anything about tortoises since i have a salcutta so i took her home. She was really stressed out and covered in her own poop it was really sad. i just want to make sure she is taken care of. I gave her some romaine and a little endive but she wouldnt eat it. please help! Thanx.
