Only eats when I move him

George my red foot tortoise is about 2 years old now. He grew a lot in the first year. He is inside for the winter and his enclosure gets to 82 F. He seems to not be that active as he was. I mostly have to take him out so he goes to have a drink of water and eat his food. Hasn’t eaten that much lately either.
The weather in Canada is very odd it is actually a snow storm right now in April and he is usually outside by May in an enclosure.
Poop is fine and is drinking water but not as much eating. Gave him chicken and wet cat food seems to be fine with that but not eating his lettuce or his favourite fruit mango.
Did eat some cucumbers.
I did change his bowls though so I wonder if that might be it idk.

We are having the same crazy weather here too. Snow this morning, gone this afternoon. More possible next two days.
Try giving him some more light, making it brighter. If that don't pick him up bump the heat up a couple notches

If he is not eating much, then what you give him should be of the best possible nutritional value. Lettuce and Cucumber have very little. Can you get green beans, mustard greens, pumpkin, collard greens, kale, sweet peppers instead?
And he might like hard boiled egg, crushed with the shell for calcium.

That’s just an example of what he ate that day... he gets a variety of fruit everyday and different dark lettuces

I know what I’m doing I take him to the vet and he gets his reptile supplement powder twice a week mixed in with his fruit salads. I feed him protein such as hard boiled eggs, wet cat food and cooked chicken. Just seems to be super lazy lately

I do know they start to get shy around this age and are not active as much
