I'm concerned about my Hermanns tortoise Alfie, he is about 1 year old.... Yesterday evening I gave him a bath and he pooed but some of it was runny (it's usually solid) after bath time Alfie barely moved from under his UVB lamp, seeming lethargic. Then last night at about 10pm when he is usually asleep I noticed Alfie 'straining' hunching up his back legs, I've never seen him do this before but thought he was trying to poo but he was then sick, twice a small amount of green stuff came out of his mouth. I turned his light off at 10pm as I usually do and he stayed there all night asleep. Today he has been sleepy again and barely moved, I gave him a bath and he didn't try to climb out after 5/10 minutes as he usually does and has since just stayed under his light sleeping.... He hasn't eaten apart from one bite of veg which I put in front of his face.

Thoughts/advice much appreciated
