Best Answer

At 30 years old you should be able to tell quite easily the sex, the males shell underneath tends to be concave (dips in) and the females straight but sometimes the female does have a concave shell so the best way is too look at the tail, a males tail is long and thinner than a females and he will keep it to one side when he walks the female tail is short and dumpy almost triangular in shape.:)

Is it normal for a 3-year-old male Herman tortoise to not be eating when he is trying to mate and the female is not interested?

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 .
