That sounds promising. You may see dramatic improvement with some natural Sun, the improved indoor lighting and hydration, diet. Not a suitable staple, but some grated yellow squash and yellow flowers may help stimulate appetite and help overcome lettuce "addiction". It takes awhile for them to go downhill due to deficiency, so it may take awhile to see major improvement...slow is normal. Don't forget Calcium supplement, important, perhaps even more so than lizards. I kept snakes and lizards for about 35 years prior to tortoises, and I am really glad to have finally "evolved" into shells/legs. Tortoises have so much personality, especially horsefieldi, I hope it stays with you and gets a new lease on life.
