Hi, did anything change in her diet/life? Is she sick? For how long has this happened? Any diseases?

 

[agoura]

No she eats dandilions and kale I don't think she's sick and has no diseases

You shouldn't worry, add food she doesn't (chop it finely) & add eat to her favorite foods. That usually works

It's too hot. And your diet is too restricted.

Are there some Tortoise friendly plants and her enclosure that she can eat? Try spraying down the enclosure a couple times a day when it gets really hot. That's what I do if it gets over 80 here and it drops the temperature quite significantly if the enclosure as well planted. My Russian does slow down a little bit when it's really hot like she does when it's cold.

MORE VARIETY. She's got be sick of kale and dandelions by now. Dandelions are also bad from them in excess amounts.

Yep. Mix up your diet and give her cooler tems to escape too. Mid low 70's. Try mullberry leaves, grape leaves, broadleaf plantain, chicory.... spring mix from a store is an ok sub but real weeds from your backyard are even better. This web site helped me a lot:
