Could he be eating it any advice?

What species of tortoise please?
What temps are you using?
How big is your tortoise?
These are not the substrates I would use with tortoises, I prefer the natural substrate of soil.
The two above can easily be eaten, to what end I am not sure. Although hemp has been known to damage tortoises. Being taken in through the clocoa (sp) and damaging eyes.
Is there any swelling around the tail?
