: We have recently bought a young Leopard Tortoise. We would like to know as much as possible about it if you have any information, but in particular it has not been to the toilet for about two weeks. She is still eating is this normal or should we be concerned?

: Also do these tortoises bask or rely upon ambient heat?

::I soak my hatchling about three times a week. She has not really pooped without soaking so that might be a good start. Temperature seems to be key to much of her behavior. The tortoise trust is an excellent care sheet. Please post more info as to what you are doing for enclosure, heating etcetera, and i'm sure you will recieve many helpful tips! Good luck-Rachel
