I have a greek tortoise, currently about 10 months old and he has reccently made me very worried. He doesn't really move much and he hardly eats when I give him food. I feed him bok choy, kale, collard greens, and occasionally blueberries. I do live in New England and its getting colder so it might be a hibernative phase but im not sure. However, the temperature hovers around 80 degrees all day and night. if someone could please help i don't know what to do. Anything would be great
thanks :(

What type lighting do you have?

What are your temperatures?

What time of day are your lights on?

If you can post pictures of the enclosure and the tortoise that will also help.

I have heat lamps on 24/7 and a UV lift on during the day (roughly 10hours) and as I said the temperature in his enclosure hovers around 80

I might not understand your setup, but just in case:

Greeks like cool night temps of 68F max. Day temps 70- 75 F cool side and 95-100 F basking temp.

Also...what uvb light source are you using? Coil bulb, mvb or tube?
