Pushkin's mom

Hi all,
Pushkin is not doing well. I’m not sure what’s going on. Perhaps hibernating??
He stopped eating as normal for 2-3 weeks and sleeping most of the time under his log in the dark side of his enclosure.
He is not going out to eat anymore (last time I saw him eating was 5 days ago.
I’m picking on him every morning and he is picking back at me (see picture below).
I don’t know if I should bath him, bother him, take him out to eat… let him be and do his tortoise things and hope for the best???
Last time I saw him poop was 7 days ago (very little poop) while he was soaking. since then I’m not bothering him much. I’m just picking up his log and look under. I have no idea if he did anything under there.
I also have a ring camera on him so there is close to zero chance that he is leaving his dark log area and I don’t know about it.
Smart people, what is going on? Do you have any idea? If Pushkin is going to hibernation what should I do?!? (Yes, I’m freaking out here).
Here is my intro message with all the enclosure and background info: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/updates-and-little-support-needed.197105/
