I have a 3 month old hermans tort and he is very inactive and doesn't really eat. Every now and then he may take a bite of something but yesterday and today he wants nothing to do with food and just goes back to sleep. I soaked him in a warm bath, and he fell asleep, moved him to his food dish...

Do you mean like a rose petal? From the florist? And should I be grating his food - I would think it would wilt very quickly. What about baby food covering some lettuce?
As far as substrate I am using an alflpha pellets and he eats different lettuces - I have a tortoise dry food that I moisten that he may take a bit or two of. He doesn't poop alot - maybe a bit every couple of days but again he doesn't eat much either. He does drink everyday in the morning.
He is in a 15 gallon tank with an underglass heater at one end - temp around 80 and at the other end I am using a 75 watt heat bulb and the temp gets up to 95. I also have a 10W uvb bulb.
I recently purchased a hermans tortoise which is about 3 months old now - he is not very active and doesn't eat much most days - about every three days is when he is more active. Is that normal for a baby?
