eating less

Question
hi jamie. it's me again. i noticed this past 2 days, my turtle eats less. all she wanted to do is to sleep all day. i bought her  turtle pellets which she really like before but she's ignoring it now. is it because she is gravid? she don't have a tank here. i let her roam around our terrace and she has this shallow basin with water where she can go if she wanted to. she sleeps under the cage of our guinea pigs, which has a cover for the guinea pig's poop,she like it there. when i tried to put her inside a deep basin to have her submerge in water ,she wanted to go out.. because our temperature here is so high, i wanted her to stay in water. sometimes she doesn't want to leave under the cage. i wake her up and get her under it to feed her. before she normally gets out to go to her basin waiting for food. but now she is not doing it. that's why i have to get her under that cage.why is she acting like this? is it because of her condition? thank you jamie so much!!

Answer
If she is gravid it is pssible that there is no room for food and that she is full of eggs. the ovaducts take up a lot of room when full of eggs

youre going to need to provide her a dirt place where she can go dig and lay the eggs or she will hoild them and get egg bound.

make sure as wel that nothig falls out from the the guinee pig cage so she doesnt eatit and become impacted
