Hi,
I weigh my tortoises weekly, and bathe them every other day. I've noticed my 2 yr old marginated has been loosing weight, pretty quickly. On 25/09/16 she weighed in at 212g and on 30/10/16 she has dropped to 179g.
She still remains extremely active, but shows no interest in food! She was being fed homegrown weeds, but unfortunately I'm still waiting for the next trays to grow, so she has just lettuce and carrot. My youngest marginated is fine, still putting Weight on as normal. Temps are all fine - so can't see the weather would have caused it.
I'm beginning to worry now, and not sure what I can do, other than a trip to the vet. I would appreciate any help.
Many thanks
