Hello everyone. As you knew before, I got 2 torts, Tooti ( about 4 years male ) and Sunny ( about 1 year female ). Both are Egyptians.
I am having a hard time feeding Tooti. He doesn't wanna eat anything besides Cucumber, no matter what is it. Tried almost everything available in the market. He d rather stay for days without food than eat anything besides cucumber. I offer various greens sorry I don't know their exact names in English. Also, Tooti doesn't eat cucumbers unless I had feed him directly to his mouth or he may eat a little alone but not as much as when I feed him by myself. I have Tooti now for 3 months or a little bit more. He's been like that since he started eating ( Start of the summer ). Before he wouldn't eat anything at all during the winter, just sleep. People told me he was fasting, but I thought Egyptians don't hibernate!
On the other hand, Sunny eats a LOT everyday almost anything but prefers lettuce. He really eats a lot and I mean it. Sunny is a good girl and eats alone and knows what to do although I had her for 2 weeks only!
Any ideas what can I do for him?
And does anyone know why is he doing this?
Thanks TFO members. Waiting for your reply.
