I like “Papa Murphy's- Take-N-Bake" pizza naturally I get a Cowboy Pizza with no sprinkles and extra cheese. That'll set me up for at least two weeks of food.

 

[johnandjade]

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.

would it be possible for one of us to mail over a care package? seeds, cuttle etc? really hope you find a solution, i know you've exhausted every possibility but just throwing out ideas

I can work with you as well and try to help where I can. Dried weed leaves and such is what in thinking of here. With some seeds for growth as well. And naturally from me , calcium.

Thanks very much your help Ken.

How about cuttlebone for birds over there? Do the pet stores have that? You can put one in the enclosure and scrape some on the food two or three times a week.

'Pet stores' if so I may call them, have food for: birds, fish, and obviously cats and dogs. But, to be honest, I don't know what exactly the food is. Please excuse my ignorance here: I have never had a pet before.

Would a tort eat cuttle bone for birds, or am I just to give it a try IF it is available? Appreciate an answer, thanks.

Hi Gillian - Yes that is the sort of cuttlefish bone we buy. I don't think they make it specifically for torts

Well guys, I received a 94% on my essay.
A tiny bit disapointed, but a good start!

That's a great start! Well done!

What do you do?

I know you said you have trouble getting to the pet shops and vets in Amman I told you about Gillian but what about the Bird and Rabbit Market? They say they are for bird lovers etc so you may be able to get some things like cuttlefish and dried grasses or hays there. I don't know if Greeks are grass eaters but I grind up dried grass for Lola and sprinkle it on his wet food, because he doesn't like dried grass or even fresh grass much, but it is a way of getting fibre in. May be worth trying to visit and see first hand what they sell.

The trouble is with customs - sending plant and animal matter is restricted - apparently they do not allow seeds especially from other parts of the world. You have to list the contents of parcels, you can try to word the contents differently but if they are checked there is no guarantee they will be received. However the good news is that there are home and garden stores in the malls etc of Amman which maybe Gillian can try for seeds.

Good morning.

Good morning Lyn, and many thanks your help.

I called the above-mentioned place, so as to ask a couple of question. Unfortunately, even their phone gave me the same recording: 'The number you have called is not in service.' And as I told you, I spent he day calling these pet stores one by one, uselessly, believe me.

True-trouble with customs, though they could check the goods, right?

By the way I have been to three malls and none of them have food and accessories for pets.

Good morning.

Hi Ed, hope you are well.

That's so kind of you-thanks! Yes......I really have done all I could, and I'm so tired.

As Lyn said, the trouble is with the customs. Don't know whether or not they'd allow such goods to entre.

 

[Lyn W]

Good morning.

Hi Ed long time no see!
How are you?
