Hi,
I have a horsefield tortoise who is ten years old whom i have had for the past three years. He lives in an indoor enclosure with heat lamp and lighting etc and has access to the garden on sunny days. Up to a few weeks ago he was active and eating well mainly on dandelions then all of a sudden he just stay in his bed and will not eat. I have tried bringing him out to bask under light but after a few minutes returns to bed. He did similar last year and we took him to the vet but said he looked in good health and there were no obvious signs of ill health. After a few months of this last year he did return to normal but had lost a quite a bit of weight which is worrying as he is a little small for his age. Any suggest or advise welcome! Thanks in advance
