My leopard tortoise is 3 years old and has been healthy and super active all these years. Lately, I've noticed that it stopped moving around the enclosure, it barely turns left or right. It is even sleeping in the same place (not taking a corner or going into her hiding spot anymore). I can see that it's trying to move but for some reason, its legs aren't strong enough. It also barely eats and is not pooping anymore.
Ever since I got it I kept spoiling her with care. I give plenty of food daily (mostly greens and carrots) with calcium twice a week, I soak her at least 3 days a week. I keep her enclosure warm. I always clean the enclosure and replaced the Zoo Med Reptile Bark Fir Bedding at least once a month. There's a sulcata with her (less than 2 years old) at the same enclosure (with her since the beginning so it couldn't contract some disease or parasite).
I have separated her now from the sulcata so that it can take its time when eating (or else the sulcata would eat her food!). I'm really lost I don't know what's going on. If anyone knows what's going on or what to do to get her back to health please help.
