so we have had our new little leopard now for a week and he is an active bugger, we gave him the name "Plow" because he always plows around the subtrate and moves his food dish all over the place, and he is very personable even though we have left him alone for the past week to let him acclimate, he comes right out to check us out and then up to the tank wall.i wanted to tell you what i am feeding and see what you all think:

40% soaked timothy hay
40% greens (usually collard,romaine,kale)
20% misc. hibiscus, snap dragon, carrot, aflalfa sprouts, cactus pad, mizuri tort diet, and pretty pets tort diet i beleive.

please respond and tell me what you think of this diet plan, i would really appreciate it.

Looks pretty good. Does your tort produce fairly solid stools, or is it a runny mess? Should be pretty good with all of that hay.

You might want to consider adding a little calcium to that. And if he is living indoors all of the time, maybe a little calcium with D3. There's calcium in the diet already, but some of the greens and carrots also have oxalic acid, which will bind calcium. So a little powder on the food won't hurt. Do it sparingly.

The only thing I don't know about is the snapdragons, and I'm guessing you've looked those up for possible toxicity.
