Basic health checks for tortoises | happytortoises

This is a short video on how to do some basic health checks for your hatchling leopard tortoise. Although I'm focussing on young leopard tortoises, most of the checks mentioned are relevant to other breeds of tortoises too.

I hope you enjoy the video and as always, please post any questions you have in the comments below and subscribe if you want to see more videos.

Awesome video! I'm about to get my first tortoise, and I have been watching a lot of videos to try to learn as much as I can, but I like the very clear examples and details that you give. Thank you for giving information that some may find basic... it's very helpful for someone who has never kept a tortoise before.

Thank you for putting together what by far are some of the most informative videos about tortoises and tortoise care! I have a 6 month old Ivory Leopard Tortoise. I had researched 2 months prior to getting him to educate myself the best I could so I can provide the best care etc. However, much of the information I received from tortoise shops, tortoise rescues and books seemed too generalized and would often conflict just like you mentioned in the "What to feed your baby Leopard" video, about conflicting diet information. I am glad I found your videos and hope to see more! You're time and effort are appreciated and my Tort thanks you too. Cheers!

Love your tortoise videos, so clear and precise. This is all critical information perspective tortoise owners should be aware of before even thinking about getting a tortoise. A lot of thought, commitment, time and expensive to look after them properly. They fantastic pets but not for busy people I would say. Your babies are beautiful.

Thank you, thank you, just what I needed to know! I am so grateful for this information. I have had Mateo and Lucy for almost one year and they have pyrimid shells, and I will try what you said on high fiber diet. Thank you and God bless.
