Hey, my tortoise does the same thing i just hand feed him but sometimes I don`t have time to so i have a little smooth, raised rock which i put his food on and it seems to help because its abit high. But it still takes him a while to eat.

eating disorders

Well unfortunately, this would be one thing your tortoise will have to cope with. Wether it is bad eye sight, or just your tortoise being a little goofy and slow. (others will be quick to disagree with, but some tortoises aren't very smart.)
Either way, it should not become a serious issue unless he literally stops eating. Maybe try hand feeding him! =u)
