Hello Sandy and Emma, I just thought I'd update you. I spoke to the specialist reptile vet again this morning and have supplied a sample in case it's parasites. However, the vet says that it is quite common for a male tortoise's lust for a lady to overcome his instinct to eat. He's advised that, as my tortoise is still active and lively, that we just hang on for a while before panicking. Easy to say!! Still, if you ask a professional for advice, then you have to follow it. Thank you for your interest.
