she is probably defient in vitamins. Make sure you are feeding her Vitamin rich foods or purchase a supplement that you can sprinkle on to her food.

She's eating the mulch because it is a healthier diet for her than the lettuce and peppers.
Here is a good article on tortoise diets: http://www.petdoc.ws/TortDiet.html
You'll also want to put her on a diet.
