My largest, but otherwise very healthy, Leopard tortoise has started walking funny. A tilt with his back half up higher than his front - walking using the sides of his arms rather than the pads.

I did a couple searches and it appears the more common problem is hind leg weakness. Strength of the tortoise seems fine, appetite fine (always been a big eater - thus the size and the pyramiding compared to the others).
Here's another video of him walking along with the others for a comparison -

And another with commentary from my 3 year old son - https://goo.gl/photos/whBBkKujwfs4cSnZ6
Is this anything you've seen before?
Best,
John
