I dont think so, i got mine the same age as you did, i'd say she needs some help with the food, you should feed her some leafy greens at first try some sweet potato leaves, and just tear it apart with your hands at first tear it to very small pieces.
Soaking seems to help too. Ask Yvonne for more info. You should find out whats wrong soon she might turn too sick if she was sick or something. Hope she turns out fine.

Is the tortoise shown in your avatar the tortoise you're asking about? I don't think that's a sulcata.

I was thinking the same thing...

In his last post, he requested help identifying it.
I though that the colors looked Russian. But I've been so wrong often that I didn't reply.

The one in the avatar? It's a testudo, but not a russian. Greek or Hermanns maybe. We'll need to see bigger, better pictures.

We will need more info if you need help. How are you housing it? Heating, lighting and UV? Soaking daily? Where did you buy it?
