Hi,
My 4 year old leopard tortoise, Cleo, hasn't eaten for almost a week. She also hasn't been as active as she usually is. She lives in about a 9 x 4 greenhouse indoors. Its ranges from 85-80 degrees from one side to the other and has a basking spot that ranges between 95-110 degrees. Her substrate is orchid bark. The only difference in her normal routine is the introduction of outdoor weeds back into her diet, like clover, dandelion, deadnettle, and different types of broadleaf weeds like, mouseear chickweed, henbit, persian speedwell, cud weed. I can't exactly remember if she stopped eating before or after I started feeding her them, because I remember it just being pushed around and a few of the store bought dandelion greens being gone maybe. Everything is from an untreated yard, no fertilizers or anything. Im worried about her, she usually gets a breakfast thats "about half her size." She usually eats most of it, about 3/4. She then gets dinner thats about "as big as her" or little bigger and she usually eats most of it too. Theres usually a little bit left over. Any ideas about whats going on?
