Most turtles and tortoises hibernate or at least go dormant for a few months and eat much less then in the warmer months. Because your tort is native tio a very warm land it probably just doesn't hibernate.

Sulcatas are big tortoises with specialized needs. One of their needs is that they DO NOT hibernate. In their native lands, they never needed to and never learned to.
This is a good example of a species that you absolutely NEED to research before you buy because of their specialized care needs.
