Step 1
Feed your pet leopard a daily amount of food equal to roughly 5 percent of its bodyweight. Your leopard should eat only 5 days a week. Allow for 2 days off to fast, as the leopard would do in the wild.
-
Step 2
Give your leopard chunk red meat or horse meat as a main ingredient for its diet at least 3 days a week. Alternate it with chicken backs and necks 2 other days a week for an increased fat content.
-
Step 3
Balance your pet leopard's diet with live prey. This is not only superior in nutritional value, but it allows your pet leopard to act as it would in the wild, stalking and attacking its prey. Live prey can include rabbits, deer, pigs and fish.
-
Step 4
Feed your pet leopard at night, especially when feeding live prey for him to hunt. In the wild, leopards are nocturnal hunters.
-
Step 5
Provide your pet leopard with vegetation to chomp on within its housing. Plants only account for less than 3 percent of the leopard's diet, but should still be made available.
-
Step 6
Monitor your leopard's coat, coloring, urine and bowel movements. These areas can tell you when your leopard is not getting enough proper nutrition. A dry coat, discoloration (especially around the facial area), blood in the urine or loose stool are all indications that something is awry with your pet leopard.

Step 7
Provide plenty of fresh water for your pet leopard at all times. If you allow your pet leopard to drink from a pool or a pond inside her housing, drain this water and provide fresh water every 2 to 3 days.
