I think he have calcium deficiency. Not that experienced but calcium deficiency can cause this...

I agree with Ayushjain101. The tortoise's legs/bones aren't strong enough to support him. If you're not supplementing calcium, you need to start with the calcium/sunshine immediately.

Is it just the back legs that seem weak? Could be a bladder stone impaction as well... Is he pooping normally?
