I have a russian tortoise who has recently has loss of appetite no matter what we feed him. He also does not move around as much as he used to at all. It is fall where i live i didn't know if that would affect his behavior. My set up is exactly what everyone on here and what the vet says it should be. I'll appreciate any input i'm making a vet app. also for next week. thank you.

Is he inside or outside? If outside, he may be trying to hibernate. No an expert here on your species, so mainly giving you a bump.

What type of enclosure do you have set up for him? What size? What are the temps you are running in the enclosure...? Has he brumated in the past?
