Hey everyone,
3 days ago, my tortoise suddenly stopped eating food on her own. I thought that maybe she wasn't hungry, however today, when I went to hand feed her some lettuce, it seemed like she was having troubles opening her mouth to eat. At first, she would maybe open her mouth a millimeter or two to try to eat, which she failed at, then afterwards her mouth just stopped opening. It's been 3 days of no food and I'm really worried. She has never been like this that past year and half so this is very new to me. (I made sure her temps are correct and she has been getting soaked in a warm bath every day)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

(As you can see in this video, her mouth movements are very weak and sluggish. Now she isnt opening her mouth anymore, either by choice or maybe she is unable to. She has never refused food from me)
