Matt,

Good luck with the little leopard.

The direct sunlight you mentioned is filtered by glass. The necessary and beneficial ultraviolet light the little tortoise needs is not available through windows unless they are open.

Direct sunlight means outside in it. But there is plenty of UV outside even in the shade. Just don't know if you are in a warm enough area to provide that remedy now.

Dan O.
