My 4-month Horsefield tortoise is inactive and won't eat. Why?

Question

My tortoise doesn’t seem to be very active today and seems to have a loss of appetite. It’s a 4 month horsefield tortoise. Normally very active just seems a bit off. Pet's info: Reptile | Tortoise

Thanks for reaching out about Pedro. Review husbandry and diet, as if too cold, will depress appetite. Illness such as upper respiratory disease (sinus congestion) or intestinal infections/parasites can affect appetite. If husbandry is adequate, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Good luck.
