: He is either suffering from mbd or lack of protein in the diet. What are you feeding him and what are you using lighting wise? Still take him to the vet, but make sure he does not give your tortoise a vit. a shot. Some vets try to do this, it is quite bad for the animal.

Justin, Thanks for your response. what is mbd?. I read a lot of information when I bought him and bought the proper light for reptiles (one that was recomended) I don't remember the exact brand. He also has a heat lamp on top of his cage and I offer him a nice varity of greens and a little fruit. On nice day's I take him outside to eat clover the only thing he ever seems to eat although, he's not even eating that now. Kathy
