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 flat would become a "freezer" which is worrying for a cold blooded animal. I cannot leave his lamp on for safety reasons, and the same applies to kerosene (or gas) heaters.
Animals/pets are not allowed on public transportation here. This makes things even harder. I would have taken him along and I am sure that he would have enjoyed the very warm weather, in Aqaba.
As for asking someone to take care of him, I would never do that. With all my respect for everyone, people in this part of the world consider tortoises toys for children!
Anyone's help, suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.
