About a year ago I got a cute little Russian Tort from another teacher at my school, and he was in bad shape. Shell a little scratched and dented, somewhat lethargic, runny nose, and so on. I took him home, provided him with a indoor enclosure as well as huge outdoor enclosure for when I was home during the day (pretty often) and then self-administered Panacur for parasites as well as using Reptaid to get rid of his respiratory infection.
Jumby has been rockin the house ever since.
My question - his diet here consists of mixed greens / flower power hay (50/50 ratio) with additional things mixed in (some veggies, shredded on top) as well as things that he can munch outside, such as hibiscus [/align]
Lately, he has not been eating much at all, except he always accepts on thing - hibiscus flowers. I live in South Florida, and he always goes for those things, and in fact lately it is all he is eating.
Do I let him eat those mostly, or do I need to remove them completely until he starts on his normal diet again? I think my Jumby might have an addiction.

. I would try to get him to eat more of a variety. You can try cutting up some of the hibiscus flowers and add them to the other things you want him to eat. Chop them up small and give them a spritz of water so everything sticks together.
