Well its been pretty quiet in here.
John been partaking of the alcohol over the weekend so he's gone to bed.
Gillians still having Oli trouble
meech is probably working hard as we speak
Bea ,Jaizei and Del have popped in
I've been flitting in and out in between being busy but not many out to play.
How are you? How's Elsie doing?
Good morning Lyn, hope you and Lola are well.

You seem to have forgotten something very important: Our BIG BOSS is not here, making it quieter still.

Goodnight Gillian hope you manage to sleep well
I'm afraid I did not sleep well: went to bed after midnight, and I was wide awake 3.40 am! Oli's issue is worrying me a lot, let alone the useless pet shops and vets here. both of which have made things twice as hard for me.

Good afternoon Lyn.

As for the supermarkets you mentioned, and malls, the vegetables and fruits are 'cleaner' so as to say. They do not have much more to offer than the other supermarkets have.
Hello, I have been following very closely but are you able to supplement with something like herbal hey, TNT powder, or Miner-all? Are any of these available over there or can they be shipped there? If so, get some or all of these and mix it with his food really well. I don't really know if tortoise supply.com or Carolina pet supply.com chips international.

Thanks very much your help. Appreciate it.

I'm afraid NOTHING of the sort is available here, which I do know is hard to believe. The question is exhausting me...am I to regret having chosen a cute tort as a pet, because I live in a THIRD WORLD country?! Hope not!!

I'm very clueless about mailing things international. But if someone here wanted to could they mail The stuff to you? Is Amazon available to order from over there? I know I'm sounding more ignorant by the second :)

Don't worry. Yes, things could be sent to me from abroad, and someone was kind enough to send me goods to include food. However:

a) I did not yet receive them
2) I hope that the customs don't make a 'fuss' of them if you know what I mean.

As for Amazon, frankly speaking I don't know if it's available here.

I hope you get them soon. Check into Amazon, you can find about everything on Amazon or eBay. I think you may be right, your tortoise need some better nutrition.

Will check both.

Although I am NOT a tort expert, I know for sure that lettuce and tomatoes are not the right diet for a tort. But I REPEAT: I HAVE HAD AND STILL HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE. Everything else is fine with Oli, I think: the weather, walks, enclosure, exposure to the sun, daily soaks, light, and the rest.

Many thanks your help, once again.
