It could be a winter slow-down.

Or it could be that his diet is not complete. Dandelions are good, and romaine is OK, but you should vary the diet even more. Other things like clover, plantain, endive, etc.

And what about vitamin D? If the tort is indoors all the time, he will need a UV light source and/or vitamin D supplements. And calcium supplements. I use RepCal calcium with D3 powder.

See the Tortoise Trust website for some information.
