yes this is normal. a male tortoise with sex on his mind will not be interested in food. i advise that you separate the male from the female. if you keep them together for too long then the female will become very stressed with his relentless advances and he will drop weight from not eating and will be unsuitable for hibernation. i put my male and female together for only two hours per day for these reasons then i separate them. i hope ive helped, shan x .

What is a herbivore tortoise?
The majority of tortoises are herbivores, with some species eating largely grasses, and others eating mainly broadleaved plants, but there are a few species that are omnivorous (such as red-footed and yellow-footed tortoises), and these species will also eat insects, worms, and carrion. Some species of herbivorous tortoises include the Galapagos tortoise, the Aldabra tortoise, the African Spur-thigh tortoise, the Greek tortoise, and the Hermann's tortoise. Tortoises are reptiles, part of the order Chelonia, along with turtles. Tortoises are terrestrial (they live on land), while turtles may be terrestrial, semi-aquatic, or aquatic. The majority of turtles are omnivorous, with some being carnivorous. Tortoises generally have rounded feet with strong claws, while turtles have broader feet that are webbed or partially webbed. (Sea turtles, of course, have flippers).
