My tortoise hasn't eaten in 4 days and im really worried. The temperature is 90F in the basking spot and 80-85 in the coldest corner. I feed butter lettuce, Dandelion leaves, sometimes sesame leaver, and once in a while watermelon or apples.

No fruit, they can't process the sugars and upsets the gut.
What the humidity?
Type of substrate?
Type of gauges to measure temps?

Forest mulch as substrate, 80% humidity on average, and I have UVA and UVB. The UVB is a light strip.
What is the temp? And basking temp?
The enclosure needs to be 80 day and night and a basking area that reaches 95-100 with an incandescent FLOOD bulb. If they can't bask under those temps they can't digest their food and insides can't work properly.
