Leopard Tortoise CB24

Leopard tortoises come from Africa, inhabiting savannas where hot temperatures and high UVB are present. They require both Heat and UVB in captivity. This can be provided by using basking lamp/ceramic and UVB tube, or a dual Heat & UVB bulb. Dust your tortoises food with a Calcium +D3 supplement powder 2-3 times a week.

Diet: Meadow Hay, Orchard Hay and other rough hays, weeds, dried flowers. Vegetables once a week as a treat. Offer cuttlefish and dust food with Calcium +D3 2-3 times a week.

You may enjoy taking your tortoise out during the peak summer heat. We recommend minimising this time to 15-30 minutes so that your tortoise doesn’t get cold. Be ware of wild plants which may be poisonous to your pet.

Caring for your pet Tortoise

There are a few different types of tortoise enclosure available which are based around a table or a vivarium style. Depending on the size of your tortoise when you buy it , or if you care for mammals in your home you may wish to choose a vivarium set up to ensure that the small tortoise received the heat it needs, or to keep pets from disturbing the tortoise.

Table options are nice as they allow you to interact with the tortoise. However, you should ensure to measure your temperatures regularly and when weather changes affecting the ambient temperature in order for the tortoise to get all the heat it needs. Horsefield tortoises also need UVB which can be in the form of a tube for vivarium set ups or a dual D3/heat bulb for table set ups. Thermostats should be used with heat bulbs but cannot be used for dual mercury vapour bulbs.

There are a range of substrates available for your tortoise which are an option of absorbent lignocel and aspen beddings or there is a choice of tortoise life bio substrate which is highly absorbent and completely natural.  Provide fairly shallow water and food bowls to allow your tortoise to access the contents. Provide a hiding space for your tortoise and plenty of substrate for it to dig and bury at night. Heat mats may be needed in winter as an addition to your tortoise table to provide extra belly heat or a larger heat lamp or rock can be provided in a vivarium set up.  Put some wood and décor in the enclosure so that your tortoise can climb on different textures as it would in the wild.
