Shelly throws a huge tantrum when I bring her in from being outside for a couple days. Then she looks so pathetic. It's awful

Awww thank you! *blushes*
Good evening Kirsty, and many thanks your question.All good I was also on the drink so Sunday - was at a baby shower which was a bit inappropriate but my friends and I (apart from the pregnant one) had a lot of fun
@Gillian Moore i didn't know oli was poorly, are you ok?
Granny Brodie is fab. She's able to walk around a little more and told me not to visit tonight because my grandpa is taking her out for fish and chips so couldn't ask for much more!
Oli has been giving me a lot of trouble lately: he moves to a corner and sticks to end hours on end, and nobody has been able to explain why. When I take him out for a wak, he seems to be a different Oli!
Yikes! You guys seem a little soggy!
enjoyed it so much last night, turning in early again tonight hope you all have a good night/day and we'll deal with the back up of the mail in the morning... got a postcard to find

Really? It's actually been really nice here over the past couple of days. We have went to about 20 odd degrees since Friday
Thankfully it did. But it's forecasted to rain so will probably start pouring down in the next couple of hours
Haha! I actually burst out laughing reading this!!! That was really funny lol
Although I do feel your pain
Oh no! At least he is still active on his walks, tells me there isn't anything wrong with his health which is really positive
is it just in his enclosure he's not moving? He might just be taking a strop because he wants to go outside and play
Aww that sounds great! I'm glad you had a good time
Nice to have you back though!!
Thanks your help Kirsty.Oh no! At least he is still active on his walks, tells me there isn't anything wrong with his health which is really positive
Oli has been behaving in a strange way when at home, be it in his enclosure on the floor. He could stay in that corner-notice a corner, literally for hours, and would not move till I pick him up! Never has this happened, not even last Winter when it snowed here. You may be right: he might be doing so because he wants to go out. But:
a) I repeat: he has never behaved like this before
b) I cannot stay outside 24 hours a day can I? LOL!
Kirsty, he's driven me nuts. I have a feeling it is his diet as I feed him Roman lettuce and tomatoes, due to the fact that food for torts is NOT available here. I have checked so-called 'pet stores', malls supermarkets, you name it. Was told not to bother. A couple of members at the forum have been kind enough to send me cuttle bone. However, even here there may be an obstacle: the customs may/may not allow such goods in! Moreover, I have not found a single vet for torts here. Don't know what on earth to do.
Aww I'm really sorry you are going through that Gillian
Due to the long winters in Scotland I need to go to the supermarket at the start/end of the year as well. Have you tried artichokes? They are really good for torts and you might be able to get them in the food shops where you are?
I bought my cuttlefish bones from Amazon - like yourself I couldn't find them in any shops so had to order them online but not too sure if that option is available to you?
I will help where I can - if there's anything I could send you I would be happy to ship something out. Or of course be an ear to listen to you when you need someone to talk to
Oh thank goodness he's ok - was getting worried for her there! Beastie is the same, he gets grumpy when I bring him in but he gets over it after a couple of hours
Oh Kirsty, that is so sweet of you. Don't send cuttle bone now please. I don't want the customs to seize the food. let's wait and see what happens to the food that LYN and ED were so generous to have sent. Thanks all the same. I really do appreciate your help.Aww I'm really sorry you are going through that Gillian

I think that artichokes are available here, but am not sure. If they are, I'll give them a try.
Great to have our BIG BOSS back!Aww that sounds great! I'm glad you had a good time
Nice to have you back though!!
Your more than welcome. It's so horrible when someone you care about is poorly - particularly when you are doing everything you can and nothing seems to work
let me know if the cuttlefish bones arrive. I really hope they do!Try artichokes if you can there's also lambs lettuce which is healthy for torts. I believe people out with the UK call it corn salad? You can buy it in most of the supermarkets here so hopefully it's the same where you are.
Keep me updated with progress - I hope oli gets better soon
Once again : THANKS! Do you mind my sending you a PM? Honestly speaking I need to talk to someone.Your more than welcome. It's so horrible when someone you care about is poorly - particularly when you are doing everything you can and nothing seems to work
