That's unfortunate. Tell us a little bit about his setup. It might help to solve the problem.

He's an outside tortoise....he has a wooden run with house/shelter area.
Able to wander the garden...food and water access etc.
Comes out in the morning of his own accord. Bathe him a couple of times a week.

You'll have to post some pictures of him, the top and bottom, that would help immensely.

What kind of food are you offering him?
A lot of tortoises go through an adjustment time when in a new home and it's common for them to not eat but 10 days seems a bit long to me but I am not an expert like a lot of people on this forum. Hopefully someone else can say wether this could just be him getting settled in. My tort didn't eat for a few days when I first got him.
Also do you know what his previous keeper fed him? Could be new foods?

Some take longer to adjust. I mixed my new Russians food with cucumber juice to entice him. It worked.

Are you sure he's not eating what's growing in the garden?

Why?

It helps us if we can actually see the animal you're talking about.
