Any help or advice needed. Small leopard vomiting/not eating.

Hi folks. I'm not a regular poster here... So hello to most of you

We have a small leopard tortoise, Timmy (about 3.5 years old we beleive). Owned him for around 3 years. He is usually extremely active, very curious to his surroundings and generally quite boisterous. Recently, he's been very inactive... His normal diet consists mainly of lambs lettuce, rocket, thistle, garden weeds, hay and grass. He has not eaten much over the last couple of weeks.

Yesterday, he would not eat anything and seemed uninterested in food and vomited. I tried to find something 'naughty' and appetising for him to eat and settled on little gem lettuce after a warm bath, and pooped a pastey green poo. He had some slow going nibbles on it and probably ate 2 leaves of it in all. I made a conscious effort that he swallowed some nutribol (?)

Tonight, he was worse. I bathed him again. He mostly just sat in his bath, not moving. He did have another very tiny poo in the bath. He was quite active after the bath, and stomped around his table. He wouldn't even eat the little gem, however. I even tried a tiny piece of tomato to get him to eat something. Within 2 minutes of having a single bite of the tomato, he vomited it back up. I'm having no luck in getting him to eat his normal diet.

He lives with one other leopard tortoise, Tilly, who is about 5-6 years. Tilly is absolutely fine. Practically eating her body weight in anything edible within eyesight... The tortoise table is 4'x2' and lit by a single 150w Lucky Reptile Bright Sun UV Ultra. The basking spot is 40 degrees at its hottest. The room temperature is 20 degrees.

Timmy has some minor unusual shell shapes/markings. Almost as if the shell has split at the scute joints in areas, I'll try and get some pictures up!!! This may be something to do with it?

I intend to get to Anton Vets, Andover on Thursday (3 days time). This is my next available day off. At the moment, I keep offering food and giving a bath when possible.

What do you think is wrong with Timmy?
