Good morning.... Have you tried some good long warm water soaks....a bit longer than normal? Make sure all of your temps are where they should be.

Good luck.

Step up the soaks. Use a large flat bottomed bowl so there's room for your tort to march about. Make sure the water is warm, not cool. Soak for at least 30 minutes every day for now, changing the water if it goes cool. Exercise encourages poop as does hydration.
