Hello. I have a 5 year old Russian tortoise. Recently over the past few weeks she has had no interest in her food. She won’t touch it. All she wants to do is sleep. I worry she’ll become dehydrated. This has never happened before with her. I bathe her weekly. I feed her Romain lettuce, spinach, occasionally oranges and apples. Carrots, celery, and broccoli. She sometimes gets a calcium supplement. She has a 150w basking bulb on for 12 hours a day and a 75w blue bulb at night. Her cage stays in the high 70s to mid 80s most days. I’m not looking to take her to the vet. As I don’t live anywheres near an exotic vet. Any suggestions on what could be wrong or what to do to help would be highly appreciated! Thanks
