: Thank you for helping! I have tried strawberries, rasberries, carrots, anything bright colored. Prickly pear, and cactus pads have also been used, as well as a variety of other things. I have fed him all of his favs, as well as some new additions, such as the dog food. Its not that he doesnt like what is being offered I do not think, it is just that something is wrong that I do not know. I have also tried putting the heat a bit higher to 90 or so for awhile, but he did not seem to be affected, and did not move around any more than he did. He also has a cool spot to go to, the lamp is only on one end, he was fine all summer and i know it was cooler in here in the summer because the air was always on. He just walks right over his food, or just sits there and ignores it. I am at my wits end! Ive even tried putting him in different locations other than his enclosure to eat, he just walks on over it again. His enclosure was fine all the time before, I dont know what he doesnt like about anything now. I have other tortoises in other enclosures, and they are not acting this way at all, I sure wish they could tell me whats wrong! lol

Ive had a 3/5 group of Redfoots for over a year now,& mine will run over you to get to cantalope.Im by no means an expert just trying to help.Good luck but remember when they cool down they dont generally eat near as much.
Thanks Rusty
