Thank you very much, guys!

She started eating outside, the clover leaves.

I think that giving her some probiotics helped. I read somewhere that when her poop is not right, they were recommending either feeding with poops of healthy tortoise or even a yogurt. I was unsure about poop of healthy tortoise (I got all paranoid and started wondering what if my other tortoises are carriers of any illnesses that haven't showed itself yet - I didn't want to make her even worse) and I didn't want to feed yogurt, so I broke a capsule of probiotics and mixed it with her feed, and then I feed her through tube. Her poop got better so quickly! So it seems that she needed some good live bacteria to help her fight.

That's good news Hanna, are you bathing in Abidec as well? This usually helps with weight & wont harm to ensure she has plenty of vitamins
