Hi everyone. Jordan is being effected by a heatwave like never before since decades. temperature reaches 43 degrees C in Amman during the day. (That's 109.4 degrees F). Boiling hot weather. Moreover, the Govt has declared a state of emergency due to weather conditions. I'd like to ask: if...

Hi everyone at TFO. I came across the above, which attracted my attention immediately when I saw that cute tort/turtle. After having read the words, I hesitated for a moment and thought: "There's a lot of truth in what that poor tort said, as far not wanting to be "rescued" and consequently...

Hi everyone. Jordan is being effected by terribly cold weather. Temperature fell to -5 degrees C (about 24.8 degrees F), and we've had snow in many parts of the country. Oli is brumating/hibernating due to very low temperature, although he's inside. I'd like to ask: am I to wake him up and...

Hi everyone. Jordan has been effected by a heatwave lately. It was so hot we were cautioned not to get exposed to the sun. I'd like to ask: in such cases can I give Oli two soaks a day or is one enough even during such weather? Suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi. I need help: my Greek tortoise has been extremely inactive lately. He sleeps night and day long, till I wake him up so as to give him a soak and some food. I am worried and surprised at this behaviour as: the weather is hot here. Temperature is about 30 degrees C (86 F) in Amman. Moreover...

Please meet this gentleman, who is a Venezuelan and the oldest man in the world. He is 113 year old, he's in relatively good shape and quite healthy, when considering his age. He'll be going into Guinness Book Of Records. May I ask: would any of you like to live that long? I would.

Hi all. I'd like to know what species the cute tiny tort is. A friend of mine sent the pic to me as she knows that I have a tort. Thank you.

Hi everyone. Need help: my tort is sleeping 24 hours a day, despite the fact that the weather is relatively warm these days in Jordan. Even during extremely cold weather and snowstorms, he did not "behave" like this. I am obliged to wake him up, give him a soak and feed him. Once he eats he...

Hi everyone. I have been terribly worried about my tort, lately. He eats and drinks well, thank God. However, (and despite the relatively hot weather), he sleeps literally all the time unless I take him out for a so-called "walk" or I take him out so as to soak him and feed him. Temperature here...

Hello everyone. Jordan has been going through a heatwave lately, and temperature reaches about 36 degrees C in Amman, during the day. Would you advise me to give my tort a soak twice daily? Anyone's help would be highly appreciated, Thank you.

Hi. I usually give Oli a warm, daily soak, in Winter and Summer alike. Recently, it has been terribly cold here. It even snowed. I got chillblains, which are extremely painful, so painful that I have not been able to give poor Oli a soak for the past four days or so. The issue is worrying me a...

I am planning to travel to Aqaba (in the south of Jordan) for a few days. The place is extremely far from Amman: it is about 400 km away! Therefore I cannot go and come back in one day. The trouble is that I would have to leave Oli alone. He refuses to eat unless I hand feed him. Moreover, the...

Hi. I have been having trouble in persuading Oli to eat. He won't even eat lettuce which is his favourite. Don't know why he gets into these "moods" if so I may call them, every now and again. There was a heat wave here weeks ago, whereas temperature reached 38 degrees C in Amman. I know that...

Hi everyone. I have recently noticed that Oli has not got much appetite despite: 1) the extremely hot weather the country is going through. We are going through a heat wave here and temperature reaches 40 degrees C (104 F). We have been cautioned not to exposed to the striking sun. I have...

Hi everybody. Oli has been extremely restless lately. He keeps struggling and fighting trying to get out of his enclosure till the moment he falls asleep. I soak him daily, I hand feed him because he won't eat otherwise, his light is on almost all the time. I even give him lettuce - his...

Hi all, at Off The Topic Chit chat. :D I was looking at extremely funny, but sweet pics.. :<3: I found this one, but am undecided on one little thing (please notice "little" here). ** ;) ** Is it a tort or a giraffe? Personally I do not know. Therefore I'd suggest VOTING, alright? :D...
