who own tat leo?im gona report tat idiot if i know who r they.

Not to say i wanna offend you and stuff... how the heck are you supposed to report the guy without any illegal charges?

i somehow agree with kid.
if its normal dog or cat abuse, i think can report to SPCA rite?
but this is exotic pets and some illegal ones like star nowadays...
who to report? PERHILITAN? Ask them catch them for illegal keeping.
U cant charge them for bad keeping.... Can they be charge for bad keeping?

I don't think so, if they wer'e to charge because the owner is treating the animal bad.

It will be for cats and dogs

well theres some other tortoise in the wild also have some pyramiding...
so cant blame much....its all depend on the tortoise itself..
some ppl feed approperiate diet but still pyramiding happen...so cant blame much.

African spurred's A.K.A sulcata, after they grow to adult size will they start pyramiding?

Depends on its diet and genetic actually, but i rarely see wc specimen that have bad pyramiding.

I think the answer to the above is NO to a certain extent !!!

As no / slow growth after a certain size !!

I let leos graze on grass. I think rabbit pellet is not really good as they contain a lot of salt.

do ST need exercise ?
sumting wrong with 1 of my ST.....she only awake during night....
but my other 2 awake around morning time and evening.....

You have 3 ST ???
LMAO... where u gonna keep them once adult size?

They wont grow that fast so do not worry.

ST need to exercise too, just let them graze on ur garden once a week would do. At the same time u can bask them under the sun also, which is good for them.

Any specific type of grass? or they will choose what to graze instictly (if i put them in the field)? Any grass that is poisonous to them>?
Thnx

they take HAY..but not much..normally u just have to mix everything up...with those vege together...
well....the best way to keep leopard tortoise or sulcata is indoor...
just buy one big tub...put them in...
make sure got lots of basking...they will be very active when theres good heat in the tub...they love it when its HAWTz

Hmm.. So they eat green grass or hay? I tot they should eat grass more than vege?

Btw, if i keep them outoor, with shelter, are they going to be OK if raining? Esp at nite? More or less they will be get wet i guess

They won't grow that big too .

dont bother the fellow that just drop in and LOL...just another spam of his to gain posts. super noob.

leopard tortoise can easily get RNS..n can easily drop dead nxt day!!!
BEST is indoor..

What's RNS? Sorry im a noob
