Hi. I have been having trouble in persuading Oli to eat. He won't even eat lettuce which is his favourite. Don't know why he gets into these "moods" if so I may call them, every now and again.
There was a heat wave here weeks ago, whereas temperature reached 38 degrees C in Amman. I know that torts lose appetite during Winter, not Summer. @Lyn W and @ZEROPILOT were kind enough to help here. @Lyn W said that it could have been the heat. (Thanks @Lyn W and @ZEROPILOT). Let us suppose it was the heat wave. Temperature has dropped to only 27 degrees C, and Oli still will not eat.
I received mazuri from a friend living abroad, thank God. I mixed mazuri with lettuce, hoping he would eat, but no way! I am aware of the fact that Oli is going to have to get used to mazuri from "zero" due to the fact that he has not eaten it for long - that was when @ZEROPILOT was generous enough to send some. Thanks, Ed!
Moreover, Oli has become terribly inactive. I give him a daily soak (during the heat wave I gave him at least two), and I try to hand feed him. When he refuses to eat endlessly, he retires to the same corner and falls asleep.
The issue is really worrying me. Any help / advise would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
