Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Is he hungry?
OK, so I have read the website link that was suggested to find out some varieties of food to feed my leopard tortoise. I have had him for two months or so and have only really fed him the rep-cal tortoise food. I feed him daily. I am trying to cut back and feed him more plants and veggies as the site said to do. It said to feed them about twice a week, so this will try to teach them to eat off of the natural foods.... How can I tell if he is hungry, or if I am feeding him enough?

Tonya, just have natural foods available to him all the time. He will eat when he is hungry. Clover and dandelions are two good foods, and you can probably collect these with a quick walk.
Sorry about my rude post yesterday, I was having a bad day, for reasons that had nothing to do with you.

I did not even notice you were being rude, so no worries. Thanks for your help. I did give him some clover yesterday, but they seemed to wilt pretty quickly. Should I only leave in for a few hours and then remove, or will he snack on them even wilted?

Mine usually don't like it, if it's too dried up. But, there are plenty of foods they like growing on my property, so it just takes a few seconds to pick some more. Variety is important, but make sure the plant is safe to feed him. Some plants are toxic.

I can always go pick more, but I work really long days. So if I put it there in the morning, I just wanted to be sure it would not make him sick if he snacks on it all day. I will switch it out when I get home. I am trying it today, so I guess I will see how much of it he got to eat while I am at work.
Thanks!
