Hi everyone so I have an adult Russian Tortoise named Nikita. She lives in a tortoise table inside with coco coir, heat lamps and a T8 ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Fluorescent Lamp. The temps in her enclose are 110 under her basking lamp then 88 and 69 on the warm and cool sides. I know her enclosure is small for her but I don't have the space for a bigger one at the moment. To make up for this she has a 4ft by 4ft enclosures outside that she goes out in when I'm not working. She eats a mix of Radicchio, Escarole, Endive, Mustard Greens, Dandelions, Collard Greens, and the plants from Testudo Seed Mix.
Lately though she has barley been eating anything. She takes a few bites then refuses more or anything else. Also I have been having to wake her up in the morning. For example I will turn on all her lights at 9 AM but by 12 PM she has barley moved in her log. But other then these two things she seems completely normal. I did change the coco coir in her cage about three weeks ago and I know that she got stressed out because she didn't recognize her home. At first I wasn't that worried because I thought she was just stressed from the move but its almost been four weeks now and her appetite has't improved. I have been bathing her daily to make sure she drinks water.
I guess I'm just wondering if I should give her some more time to get over the change or should I be worried because she use to eat a ton.
