My leo eats way less than his shell. Hes around 4 to 5 inches. Ive been feeding different greens and also tried pellets. He only eats very little. What can I do to increase his appetite and what is a healthy amount it should take per day?

Does the tortoise have access to sunshine during the day where it can warm up above ambient?

Usually when they are not eating its because of temperatures. Where does the tortoise sleep at night and what is the over night low temperature?

Yes it has access to sun but not the entire day though yet temp still stays around 32C. Lowest at night would be 27 which is rare, usually at 29C.
