Your tortoise is most probably wild caught so might have a worm burden

What temperatures?
Unfortunately it was........
we have got him out now and seems fine but won't eat, we will try and get him tested tomorrow, he is very friendly though and always comes running to me when we get him out, is it possible for them to have favourites? his temp in the warm end is 80f

Oh no i urge you to get him checked over that pet shop has a bad reputation.
Tortoises can go months without eating.
In the wild horsfields are only awake for 3 months of the year so,so important not to over feed.
Feed weeds weeds and more weeds no fruit
