My tortoise

22 16:04:35

Question
I have owned Lucy for about 7 years. I started putting her in my fenced back yard in the summer and I put lettuce out and there are edible plants in my back yard, but I rarely see her eat. The lettuce has not been touched. I am worried about her.
Thank you,
Paula

Answer
Hi Paula,

I need more information to help you.  What species of tortoise is Lucy, and where (what state/area) do you live?  I also need to know how you keep her when she's inside--type and size of enclosure, substrate, basking/UVB bulb(s), temperatures (warm and cool side) and diet.  As soon as you post back with the additional information, I'll do what I can to help.  Thanks!
