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?
Type of lighting and heating?

Forest mulch as substrate, 80% humidity on average, and I have UVA and UVB. The UVB is a light strip.
