  Tortoise stopped eating and moving

What is wrong with my daughter’s Tortoise? It won’t eat or move, just sits in one spot the whole day. This has been going on for a few weeks. It will move a little when I put it in warm water. It’s getting worse every day. Please let know something. HELP!!!

Sulcata, we purchased it almost 4 months ago. Not sure as to it’s age or sex but it still small. About 4 inches across it’s shell.

What temperature do you keep the enclosure at? You should keep the temperature quite warm given the fact that these guys are native to Africa. If the weather permits, try letting him bask outside.. this always makes my torts happy :) Also, you should be supplimenting your tort with a reptile powder (I recommend Nutrobal. What do you feed him?

If so you need to take him/her to a vet fast.
