UPDATE:
Hi
As far as I am aware, Lady Dorothy still hasn't had a 'movement'.
With that being said though, she remains active, alert, and is eating normally.
I'm beginning to wonder if she really is eating it or burying it. I have had a look around her enclosure but have found nothing.
So far I have tried:
Stimulating foods (lettuce, cucumber)
Daily long baths
Installing a larger soaking pool
Increasing temperatures
Small dose of lactulose
I wasn't able to try the car ride method as everyone I know who has a car is busy working and getting ready for Christmas.
Again, Lady Dorothy is acting fine. So I'm not at the stage where I'm worrying too much. I think she will have a 'movement' sooner or later, but if it was something serious I would have expected some behaviour changes by now.
I spoke to her previous owner who confirmed she's not had this problem before.

Awwwww, that's so precious. Because tortoises digestive system is so slow, it usually takes about two weeks to pass what she ate two weeks ago. So, if it hasn't been two weeks, give or take, then wait patiently. On the other hand, if it's been more than two weeks, and she begins to show signs of lethargy, take her to a vet asap. Because, when they get to a point where they stop eating, along with lethargic behavior, it can quickly become critical at that point. How long has it been since you've seen poop?
