I have a smaller female Herman’s tortoise, who normally gobbles up everything in her food dish.
This past month someone else has been taking care of her since I’ve been sick with pneumonia. I’ve had no contact with her to make her sick, and it’s been an overnight change.
She didn’t eat any dinner and she won’t eat anything today. She’s taken a single bite of a dandelion green and refused my attempts to tempt her with melon and tomatoes. She’s been sleeping all day and her skin is darker than normal. I’ve added two images of her before and after.
If she continues this over the weekend I will call the vet, but since I’m rather inexperienced with tortoises I’d thought I should ask if this is normal for a tortoise going into colder seasons.
