I just bought a new hermann tortoise and it is completely inactive in the tortoise table, is it stressed? I literally bought it home thirty minutes ago.
Where did you get it? How warm did you keep it on the way home? Have you been handling it a lot? How warm is the table where you now have him? Yes, it may be stress but could be more too (thus the questions). You might giving him a warm soak. Use warm water up to where his two shells meet. Keep the water warm (like you would a baby's milk, so not too hot) and let him soak about 15-20 mins changing water as needed.
I made this suggestion on your other thread, but I'll repeat it here:
Read the care sheet at the top of the Hermann's section, then make adjustments to your tortoise's habitat accordingly.
