That's not sweet potato leaves.... that is tapioca leaves. Sweet potato looks different coz I buy them.

Anyway 45 minutes of sun is too long if the sun is really hot and scorching. 10 to 20 minutes under very hot sun is enough and you must provide a shade if you are not supervising your tortoise. The best time to sun is in the morning. For young tortoises like yours, it is more likely to dry up. Dehydrated and also heat stroke if any longer under the sun.

Do chat in the tortoise thread. This thread is now closed.
