: Feed a wider variety of greens, endive, dandelion, chicory, turnip greens and a bit of kale and collards etc.
: Calcium and vitamins only once or twice a week, don't overdo it.

: Plant a couple of hibiscus bushes and add the flowers to the diet too.
: The red hibiscus is the hardiest, plant in morning sun/afternoon shade.

: Leopards will drink, so provide a little bowl.
: The plastic lid off a Sunny Delight bottle, or something similar.

: And at that age I would soak the tortoise at least twice a week.

: Grasses, well you can let it graze on the bermuda or rye, but be very caqreful that it has loads of shade and is supervised outdoors.

: My sulcatas sleep in the shade from around 11am-4pm this time of year, and they're sub-adults.

: A little baby would easily fry if left out in the sun.

: If you live in/around the Phoenix area and need a vet, I recommend Dr Jay Johnson, at the Tempe University veterinary hospital
