Ok so she did alright for about a week and she ate about three pellets a day with us pulling her out of bed in the morning giving her a soak and puttinng the food out early. Then one morning she just seemed extra tired and we took her out of bed and she headed straight for bed after her soak...
It seems to have helped, she eats like 2 pellets in the morning. Still not quite enough but I'm sure she'll get in to it. Hopefully once she has started eating again we can start on the anti pellets campaign. Lel. Thanks
Ok so this morning I gave her a bath and put her under the light. Through out the day I checked up on her and I would always find her in bed and I had to drag her out. Now that it's feeding time her food is out on the plate but I put her under the light and she just walks away back to bed...

Is it true that a tortoise won't eat when they're too cold?
The thing is she won't stay under her basking light long enough to warm up and gain her appetite. I turn the light on but she won't come out so later I take her out of her bed and put her under the basking light. Immediately or a few...
Ok. We do monitor her weight and it has dropped a little since last month but not too much.
Last year she didn't hibernate and I don't think we will hibernate her this yeah. So we'Lel stop putting her outside unless it's a hot or sunny day.
So if we keep her inside and keep her nice and hot...
Not 100% on the temperatures anywhere. Outside during the day it's around 20-15. By the time it gets colder and darker we bring her in and put her in her table where the temperatures are much hotter but she seems just to wait to go to bed. We will check the temperatures of her table soon.
Hey guys, it's me again and once again my tortoise is playing up again. She hasn't eaten in probably a week and a bit now. We have been back from holiday for about a month and since then she hasn't been eating well. She was looked after my a neighbour who came in and fed her pellets (because...
Ok so today I tried giving her pure greens and she was so close to eating them. She tried to take a bite but missed a decent shot and so she gave up. I put her back in front of the greens after she walked away but she just ignored them. Maybe next time....
Just a quick little update to say out great master plan is going ok. She is eating 40:60 pellets to veg with a little bit of encouragement. She now has a watter dish in her table and loves it!
Today she started eating the greens and not just pick out the pellets. It's probably 50:50 at the mo. I still have a few questions though.
What are the consequences of pellets to tortoises?
Previously we relied on the pellets and bathing her every other day to give her a source of water. She...
