Hey guys, my three year old Red foot tortoise who I've had for a few months has suddenly stopped eating, it's been about 4 days now and shes also slowing down and sleeping a lot more, I tried to find another similar situation on here but can't seem to find one. She has a basking spot that's around 95-100 degrees during the day and her ceramic heat bulb on the cooler side usually keeps it around 75 and that stays on all day and night, she also has a heat rock that she never goes on. The humidity is around 60-70. I soaked her yesterday and let her walk around my living room, she had a normal poop and pee in the tub and was active and exploring the living room so I'm not sure if I should be worried or not. I offered her banana today which is her favourite and she didn't eat that so now I'm concerned. She did get into my cats food about 5 days ago so I'm wondering if that could be the problem. Her previous owner told me she was feeding her cat food once a month for her protein but I haven't been giving her that, I usually use chicken or shrimp or egg for her protein. Is this normal for her to not eat for a few days or could something be wrong?
