Just a suggestion but you could just kinda try everything, I'm only suggesting this because I don't think your ever going to find the exact reason your tortoise isn't feeling well unfortunately cause it could be a combination of things.
Example is that not even hydration with soaks and humidity combined with a powerful 125 watt MVB bulb has lead to dehydration. Not saying this is it just giving an example.
You could do all the things that have been suggested
You already put the bulb away
someone suggested soaking him more often. Everyone on this forum seems to think an 30 to an hour daily in warm water is good.
Someone else suggested soaking him in baby food , I don't know proportions sorry :/
Doing all these things won't hurt your tortoise in any way, it will make him better.
You don't have to get rid of the bulb. A powerful 125 watt MVB will be very useful when your tortoise is too large to live in the house anymore.
I know just how you feel about wanting to be sure that the people on here know what they are talking about and you just don't want to follow them blindly. The one thing you do know is that none of the suggested things will hurt your cute baby
and he is very very cute
and yes I read all other posts very carefully
