Do tortoise eat less in winter? Its a star tort and I have seen that he have reduced his appetite. He poops like once every 3-4 days. Is it normal? How much your torts poop a day. Have a great winter

My stars do not have reduced appetite in winter. I keep them inside and keep the heat the same all year they are still small, I would think if the temp cools down they might eat less

Depends on how you are housing them and where you are. If they are getting good UV, warm temps, bright lights and long days, then they should remain active and eat well.
