I'd ask her if the tortoise seems alert and active in the day. Check the tortoises' eyes, mouth and overall body to make sure everything is as it should be.
Has the environment changed at all? For example if the heat is not as high or on for as long as it normally is, it could be that the instinct to feed when the conditions are right are gone due to an environmental factor.
If the food has changed, the heat lamp has been off more than usual etc this can disturb them.

If the tortoise seems to be under the weather or still hasn't eaten I'd take it to the vet to be sure

i would take them to the vets if not eating as turtles can be ill for sometime without you knowing .
also what is she feeding them?
