Hi Adam. Yes could have been a good thought but Oli refuses to eat them time and once again.
Have you tried cutting them up really small and coating things he does like with them, or even trickle juice from a tomato on them - it is a bit more work but it worked for Lola. They are easy to trick!
Also Gillian I see from the web that there is a Jordanian turtle and tortoise conservation organisation - would it possible to contact them to ask what they feed? (Assuming it is legal for you to have Oli, I saw something about Greeks on their site but didn't get a chance to read it).

Are you going to replace Pedro to use the pen?
No more males. But I wouldn't throw away the chance to acquire more females....
Right now I'll use the pen to put everyone in while I'm doing maintenance on the big house. Or grow some big weeds in it and let them free range every now and again.
Optimally, Bertha would get better and it would be her permanent home. However, Bertha has her own plans.

Good afternoon Lyn, and of course good afternoon Lola.

Oh yes I have tried that tricky way and Oli would only eat the lettuce and tomato in the 'salad.' He's rather picky on food, that I'm sure of.

As or the organization, well yet another story here: Kirsty was kind enough to send me their phone number last night. I called them MILLIONS of times this morning, and NOBODY answered! I told Kirsty that I was expecting them either NOT to answer OR to apologize. And see?
