How Do You Feed A Leopard Tortoise?
The leopard tortoise is a popular type of tortoise that is kept as a pet. Leopard tortoises can grow to weigh as much as 95 pounds, but they normally top out between 22 to 34 pounds and are usually between 16 and 20 inches long. Leopard tortoises require a diet that is high in fiber and low in protein. The diet is not difficult to provide, but you need to follow the diet closely to avoid health problems. Place the leopard tortoise in a pen outside in a grassy area so it can graze. Leopard tortoises are natural grazers and will feed on any grass you can provide. Fill a dish with water and place it in the pen. Make sure the lip of the dish is low enough (one-quarter inch or less) for the tortoise to reach the water. You can dig into the ground and lower the dish into the hole to make it low enough for the tortoise. Fill the dish with water from a garden hose every day. Supplement the grass occasionally with dark, leafy vegetables. Do not use spinach. You can also give the tortoise squash
