I get it in bulk bags. Do you want me to send you some. Dont want anything for it.
Will it get through customs OK.
If its not legal, ill put tidgy down on parcel as return address. :D

You missed your breakfast in The Cold Dark Room this morning.

Oh thank you so much! Not for the time being, thanks. Lyn and Ed have already sent me some. And Kirsty was also kind enough to offer help. Let's first make sure it gets through: I know that such goods are not allowed in by customs.

Thanks a lot your help, anyway. Appreciate it.

Oli is still eating and walks ok?
Yes he still eats well, I give him soaks, he poops. He walks around, plays around, 'runs' when we're outside. Now, once we entre the flat, something goes wrong! Mark my words: even if I were to find a vet here, I bet you even he/she cannot answer such a question: why would a tort stick to a corner whilst and home and roam around happily when outside? And it is more than just saying: 'Outside is a tort's real home, as they live in the wild.'

Are you preparing a more natural environment for Oli in your flat for his home?

Yes, I am going to change his enclosure to a bigger one, for a start. But please allow me to point out that his diet is more important than anything else now.
You are right, Gillian, on way with DI, so should get to you soon.

Will customs remove some items and let others go through? Or deny the whole package? also, do they open and inspect EVERY Package or just a sampling?


on that note, I appreciate why customs don't allow certain things through, seeds etc. have you tried mazuri gillian? perhaps sealed pack would be allowed?

Hi Ed, hope you are well.

The customs seize what they consider 'illegal' obviously after checking what is in the pack. Here, they check samples: packs they have suspicions on. Am still trying to think positive and hoping for the best.

I took Oli for a nice long walk today 6-7.30pm. And once again he 'became a completely different tort outside.

Apologies for repeating myself so much.

Kirsty and Lyn were kind enough to give me the phone number of an org. here dealing with torts and turtles. Called them millions of times, but nobody answered. Sent them an e-mail message explaining Oli's situation, and asking where I could get cuttle bone, and find a vet for torts.

If they didn't answer the phone, I am not expecting them to answer an e-mail message.

Thanks your help, everyone!
There is cuttlefish on the way Gillian but birds are very popular in Jordan and there are several pet shops that specialise in them and accessories so I am sure you would get cuttlefish bone in one of them when you have run out - which won't be for ages and ages as it lasts for ever.
