Sleeping a lot

[Kmouse64]

Good afternoon. My 3 year old Sulcata tortoise normally sleeps in until about 1:30 in the afternoon and then he wants out of his enclosure and goes outside to graze until about 4:00, sometime later. The last time he did that on his own was last Friday. Since then, he just sleeps and I actually took him outside yesterday. He went through the yard and ate like normal. He is still pooping and urates look good. He does not have any rasping sounds or bubbles from his nose so I don't believe he has a respiratory infection. His temperatures in his indoor enclosure are good. Today I took him outside and he wanted to go back inside within 5 minutes. Any idea what might be wrong? He has done this at times for 1 day and was then his normal self. Thanks!

Just some further info. Nitro's eyes are clear and he is alert when I took him outside. He had a tumble down a small hill in our yard on April 23 but had been perfectly fine after that. He just acts like he doesn't want to be bothered.

What type of UV bulb and how close is it? What size tortoise are we talking about? What size is the indoor enclosure? What are the indoor temperatures? What type of enclosure are you using? Pictures help.
