Leopard tortoises have been artificially bred on a large scale and are completely vegetarian. However, calcium powder and multivitamins should be supplemented regularly for family feeding. The habitat is dry grassland and shrubbery, requiring a wide indoor and outdoor activity space. The leopard tortoise is a large and charming tortoise. Because it is a complete vegetarian, it is better to raise it in our daily feeding. There are many foods suitable for the leopard tortoise, but don't take it lightly.
