Could be a lot of reasons but without knowing the conditions that your tortoise is being kept in it's going to be difficult for anyone to tell. What species? What are the temperatures (day/night/basking)? What is the ambient humidity? How moist (or dry) is the substrate? What type of lighting and duration is it on? What foods have you been feeding and how much, how often? How often does your tortoise drink? Have there been any changes in the tortoises environment, enclosure or routine lately?

Where was he before the living room? Maybe still getting adjusted, maybe to much traffic, maybe not enough coverage.

The temperatures at night should be cooler. There should be a 15-20 degree temperature differential to encourage daytime activity. Temperatures consistently too warm, especially at night, can cause temperate climate species to stop eating and spend more time in hiding to escape the constant heat. How well hydrated is your tortoise?

He get bathed everyday and has access to water constantly so I'd say he's hydrated
