Yo, so me and my Russian tortoise have been buddies since my 5th? birthday when we got her from pet smart 12 years ago. She's never had a issue eating in the past. Always devoured the occasional strawberry and apple.
But more and more in the past month she's started eating less. I've been giving her the normal food, lettuce, kale, collard greens, maybe even more so on the treats but she hasn't touched anything. She drinks plenty, maybe even too much because she'll sit in the bowl of fresh water I clean out daily for 5+ minutes at a time. The basking spot reads about 93 degrees.
Im not sure if this will help any but I took her for a beak trim and the vet mentioned something about her having some shell malformations? a year or two ago I took her to a different vet and they didn't see any sign of this. I'll try and snap a few pictures of her if that will help
I also know pets from petsmart can have health issues.
Thanks for reading, just worried about my buddy
