A tortoise can live without food for a long time. In the wild tortoises can go without food for months even years. When food is scarce tortoises will slow down their metabolism and enter a state of dormancy. During this time the tortoise will not eat drink or defecate. When conditions improve and food becomes available again the tortoise will gradually return to its normal activity level.
In captivity tortoises can be kept alive for long periods of time without food but this is not recommended. If a tortoise is not eating it is important to take it to a veterinarian to find out the cause. Many health problems can cause a tortoise to stop eating and these problems can be difficult to treat. It is much better to prevent health problems by providing a healthy diet and proper care for your tortoise.
